Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
847 PM EDT Sat Jul 19 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure centered over our local waters this evening will
shift westward on Sunday as troughing develops over the
southeastern states. Showers and thunderstorms may develop on
Sunday evening and night, especially over the Georgia waters.
Troughing along the southeastern seaboard will continue to sharpen
early in the upcoming week, resulting in increasing chances for
showers and thunderstorms across our local waters. Strong to
isolated severe thunderstorms will be also possible through
midweek. Weak low pressure may develop near our local waters
towards midweek as high pressure over New England wedges down the
southeastern seaboard, creating a brief increase in northeasterly
winds through Wednesday evening. A northeasterly swell may also
build seas to Caution levels offshore later in the upcoming week.
Low pressure will then shift to the west of our local waters by
Wednesday night and Thursday, allowing surface winds to shift to
southeasterly and then southerly by late in the week.
