Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
240 PM EST Wed Jan 28 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Gentle to moderate northerly breezes will continue through mid-
week before clocking around out of the east to southeast ahead of
the next system. An area of low pressure will move over the marine
area Friday with sustained winds quickly increasing to gale force
by early Saturday. There is a high chance of at least gale force
gusts Saturday and Saturday night with a low to medium chance of
40 knots or greater. This will result in widespread gale
conditions across the region, and given the strong winds, it's
likely advisory level conditions will be needed even for the St
Andrews Bay. Conditions will remain around gale levels through
Saturday evening before dropping to below advisory levels by early
Monday.
