Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
441 AM EDT Sun May 3 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A cold front will continue pushing southward across the Florida
peninsula on Sunday morning as high pressure builds eastward along
the northern Gulf coast. Breezy northerly winds in the wake of
this frontal boundary will keep Caution conditions in place across
our local waters this morning. Winds will shift to northeasterly
while gradually diminishing this afternoon and evening as high
pressure weakens and shifts directly over our local waters by
Monday morning. High pressure will then shift offshore of the
southeastern states on Monday afternoon, with breezy southeasterly
winds developing by Tuesday afternoon. Caution level speeds will
again be possible on Wednesday afternoon, well in advance of a
cold front that will be entering the southeastern states. Caution
conditions will prevail on Wednesday night and Thursday as winds
shift to southerly and then southwesterly as the frontal boundary
approaches our local waters. Showers and thunderstorms will likely
accompany this next frontal passage on Thursday afternoon and
evening, with strong storms possible for the Georgia waters.
Breezy northwesterly winds are expected in the wake of this
frontal passage on Thursday night, followed by winds shifting to
northerly on Friday morning and then northeasterly by Friday
afternoon as the frontal boundary likely stalls over the Florida
peninsula.
