Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
224 AM EDT Wed Sep 23 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Low pressure will strengthen well to the northeast of the region
through the end of the week, tracking further to the north of the
area through the weekend. High pressure will build down the eastern
US coastal states Wednesday causing a backdoor cold front to sweep
southward. The gradient between the high, and the front trailing
from the low to the northeast, will result in enhanced northeasterly
winds and waves beginning later today and lasting through at least
Friday. A period of Gale conditions will be possible Thursday into
Thursday night. These conditions ease this weekend as high pressure
weakens and the aforementioned low pulls further away from the area.
