   AMZ400-021515-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  802 PM EDT Wed Apr 1 2026      .SYNOPSIS...    High pressure centered near Bermuda will continue to extend its axis  across the southeastern states, maintaining persistent onshore winds  through the weekend. Small Craft Exercise Caution level seas are  expected to develop over the offshore waters adjacent to northeast  Florida on Thursday night as trough moves westward, increasing  wind speeds slightly and generating scattered showers and a few  embedded thunderstorms from Thursday through Friday morning. A  cold front will enter the southeastern states late this weekend,  likely crossing our local waters late Sunday night or Monday,  accompanied by showers and thunderstorms. Strong high pressure  building north of the area will then wedge down the southeastern  seaboard during the early to middle portions of next week, likely  create a surge of strong northeasterly winds and building seas  across our local waters, with Small Craft Advisory conditions  becoming increasingly likely for much of the week.    .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Apr 01, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    50 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  53 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  64 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  71 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.    $$
