Hazardous marine condition(s):
Small Craft Advisory
AMZ400-291700-
Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
946 PM EDT Wed Oct 28 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
Strong high pressure situated over New England will shift east of
the New England coast overnight as weak low pressure lingers near
southeast FL into Thursday morning. The high pressure ridge axis
will extend from the western north Atlantic waters west southwest
into the Mid Atlantic coast Thursday as the low to the south moves
west across southern FL before weakening. The flow between these two
features will create gusty northeasterly winds through Friday,
keeping Small Craft Advisory conditions in place throughout our
local waters.
Coastal troughing situated over our near shore waters will remain in
place through Saturday, with this feature generating scattered
showers across the local Northeast FL waters tonight. Periods of
isolated to widely scattered showers will then be possible from
Thursday through Sunday morning. Another strong high pressure center
building southeastward from New England and the Mid-Atlantic states
this weekend will result in breezy easterly winds across our local
waters, with another round of Small Craft Advisory conditions
possible as seas build. A disturbance aloft moving across our area
on Sunday and Monday may generate numerous showers and a few
embedded thunderstorms.
