Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory
AMZ400-170600-
Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
954 AM EST Mon Feb 16 2026
Small Craft Advisory conditions will overspread the northeast
Florida and offshore portions of the Georgia waters this morning as
high pressure strengthens over the southern Appalachians and wedges
down the southeastern seaboard in the wake of this morning's cold
frontal passage. Meanwhile, Caution conditions are expected
today for the near shore waters adjacent to southeast Georgia. Small
Craft Advisory conditions will continue through early this evening
for the near shore waters adjacent to northeast Florida, while these
conditions continue offshore into the late evening hours.
Strengthening high pressure over the coastal Carolina region tonight
will shift southeastward and offshore by Tuesday afternoon, allowing
for diminishing onshore winds and seas beginning later tonight.
Southerly winds will then develop by midweek while gradually
strengthening as this Atlantic high pressure center extends its axis
westward across the Florida peninsula. Winds will become
southwesterly later this week, with a few showers possible, mainly
across the Georgia waters.
