AMZ400-101030- 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. .GULF STREAM...
