Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1230 PM EST Thu Jan 29 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Winds will settle this afternoon as high pressure becomes situated
over the area through Friday night before a powerful arctic front
plunges across the waters Saturday. This very strong front will
bring strong winds and gusts across the waters Saturday which will
strengthen to gale-force Saturday afternoon through Sunday afternoon
as a low pressure organizes and deepens quickly off the coastal
Carolinas. There will be a low chance of a mix of rain and snow
showers across the waters Saturday night as moisture wraps around
the low and this may lead to occasional periods of low visibility.
High pressure will build from the west and over the waters during
the early and middle part of next week.
