Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
321 PM EDT Sat Apr 4 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Ahead of an approaching cool front, onshore winds will veer
southerly across the waters tonight through Sunday. The slowing
front will gradually move north to south through the waters Sunday
night bringing showers and isolated thunderstorms as the front
stalls through Monday. In the wake of the front, high pressure will
build to the north resulting in strengthening northeasterly winds
Monday night and the onset of a multi-day period of strong onshore
winds throughout next week, likely requiring an extended Small Craft
Advisory. Much stronger high pressure will wedge along the coast
Wednesday resulting in further strengthening and potential for gales
and seas building potentially up to 15 feet across the waters. As
high pressure breaks away from the eastern seaboard late in the
week, onshore winds will begin to relax.
