Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
233 AM EDT Sat May 2 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Southwesterly winds will strengthen on Saturday morning as
developing low pressure center approaches our local waters from the
west. Widespread showers and thunderstorms will impact our local
waters on Saturday and Saturday evening, with strong to severe
storms possible. Stronger storms on Saturday and Saturday evening
will be capable of producing strong wind gusts, frequent lightning
strikes, and possibly a few waterspouts.
Small Craft Advisory conditions will likely develop late Saturday
afternoon or evening in the immediate wake of the cold frontal
passage, as winds abruptly shift to northwesterly. The front will
shift south of our area on Saturday night, with gusty winds shifting
to northerly after midnight. Breezy northeast winds are then
expected on Sunday as high pressure builds into the southeastern
states, with diminishing winds and seas early next week as the high
pressure quickly moves offshore of the southeastern seaboard.
