Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1229 AM EST Thu Jan 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Elevated winds continue through the morning as a weak cold front
brushes across the waters. Winds will settle this afternoon as high
pressure becomes situated over the area through Friday night before
a powerful arctic front plunges across the waters Saturday. This
very strong front will bring strong winds and gusts across the
waters Saturday which will strengthen to gale-force Saturday night
as a low pressure organizes and deepens quickly off the coastal
Carolinas. There will be a low chance of a mix of rain and snow
showers across the waters Saturday night as moisture wraps around
the low and this may lead to occasional periods of low visibility.
High pressure will build from the west and over the waters during
the early and middle part of next week.
