AMZ400-052230- Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm- 328 AM EST Wed Feb 5 2025 .SYNOPSIS... Dense sea fog is expected early this morning for the offshore waters adjacent to northeast Florida. Otherwise, a weak cold front pushing southward down the Carolina coast will stall over the Georgia waters by this evening and will then lift northward as a warm front on Thursday. Dense sea fog will likely develop over the near shore waters south of St. Augustine late this afternoon and early this evening and will then spread northward across the rest of our local waters overnight tonight and Thursday morning. Atlantic high pressure will then build westward towards the Florida peninsula on Thursday and Friday. South-southwesterly winds will prevail from Friday through the weekend as Atlantic high pressure continues to extend its axis westward across the Florida peninsula. A cold front will then approach from the northwest on Monday, with isolated to widely scattered showers possible early next week. .GULF STREAM...
