Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
224 AM EDT Wed May 27 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Bermuda high pressure will be dominant again through Thursday night.
An incoming cold front will push the high pressure southward through
the end of the week as front itself stall just north of the waters
until Sunday. Breezy south southeasterly winds will increase again
to Exercise Caution levels which will keep thunderstorm activity
inland. By Thursday and through the weekend, offshore flow will set
up, pinning the Atlantic sea breeze near the coast and increasing
chances for afternoon thunderstorms across the area waters. A wet
pattern continues this weekend into next week as weak low pressure
moves along a stalled front to the north. As the low moves away
early next week, a surge of northeasterly winds may push into the
local waters bringing a period of Small Craft Advisory conditions.
