Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
225 AM EDT Sat Oct 31 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong high pressure ridge will build southward across area waters
today behind a weakening cold front. This ridging will then wedge
down the southeastern seaboard this weekend and early next week. A
slight surge in northeasterly winds today will return hazards across
the coastal waters once again for the weekend. A wavy stationary
frontal boundary lifting slowly northward across the Florida
peninsula late this weekend will return more numerous showers and a
few embedded thunderstorms on Sunday and Monday across our local
waters. High pressure will then build more northeast of the region
towards mid week before another cold front approaches from the
northwest.
