Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
151 PM EDT Sat May 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure to the northwest will build more to the north through
the rest of the weekend as a weak frontal boundary remains just north
of the waters resulting in a weak flow pattern and afternoon sea
breeze development today and Sunday. Moist south winds will develop
early next week and slowly increase daily thunderstorm chances.

Additionally, successive weak troughs of low pressure will track
from the Gulf and into the Atlantic through the upcoming week. These
disturbances will increase storm chances and wind speeds as they pass.
A cold front will approach from the northwest toward the end of the
week and may push through the waters next weekend.
