Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
833 AM EST Thu Nov 13 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure positioned over the Florida peninsula will continue to
slowly weaken and slide southward Today as a dry and weak frontal
boundary pushes southward towards the Georgia waters. Northwesterly
winds will gradually weaken ahead of the frontal passage this
afternoon. Another high pressure center will build over the
southeastern states on Friday in the wake of the frontal passage,
resulting in a brief period of northeasterly winds. High pressure
will then weaken as it settles directly over our local waters on
Friday night and Saturday. This feature will then shift southward
on Saturday night and Sunday, resulting in strengthening
southwesterly winds ahead of the next dry frontal passage that is
expected on Sunday night or early Monday morning.
