Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
213 PM EST Sat Nov 9 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary over the Georgia waters will move southward
across the northeast Florida waters overnight before stalling
across east central Florida on Sunday. Meanwhile, strong high
pressure building southeastward from the Great Lakes region in the
wake of this front will push offshore of the Mid-Atlantic coast
on Sunday while gradually weakening. Northeasterly winds will
strengthen late this afternoon and evening, accompanied by
gradually building seas. Small Craft Advisory conditions are
expected to develop over the Georgia waters later this afternoon,
with these conditions likely expanding to nearly all the area
waters overnight. Winds will shift to southeasterly on Sunday,
with speeds and seas then gradually diminishing on Sunday night
and Monday. A series of dry cold fronts will then push southeast
across our local waters next week, with strengthening north to
northeast winds and gradually building seas forecast.
