Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
151 AM EDT Mon Aug 4 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A stalled front will linger across the local coastal waters through
Monday with waves of showers and afternoon thunderstorms. The front
will gradually shift southward Tuesday into Wednesday with high
pressure north of the region and a coastal trough forming well off
of the Florida coast. This pattern will bring prevailing onshore
flow and elevated combined seas. The National Hurricane Center is
monitoring a couple areas of potential tropical cyclone develop
across the western Atlantic this week, one of those areas is along
the aforementioned trough . It appears a weak low pressure may
organize and shift westward as toward the coast this weekend.
Stakeholders should continue to monitor NHC forecasts through the
week.
