   AMZ400-232100-  Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-  224 AM EDT Wed Sep 23 2026      .SYNOPSIS...    Low pressure will strengthen well to the northeast of the region  through the end of the week, tracking further to the north of the  area through the weekend. High pressure will build down the eastern  US coastal states Wednesday causing a backdoor cold front to sweep  southward. The gradient between the high, and the front trailing  from the low to the northeast, will result in enhanced northeasterly  winds and waves beginning later today and lasting through at least  Friday. A period of Gale conditions will be possible Thursday into  Thursday night. These conditions ease this weekend as high pressure  weakens and the aforementioned low pulls further away from the area.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Sep 22, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    46 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.      $$
