AMZ500-291915- Synopsis for Flagler Beach to Jupiter Inlet out to 60 nm 252 AM EDT Wed Jul 29 2026 .SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge axis will remain south of the local waters into this weekend, as low pressure moves off of the Mid-Atlantic seaboard. A tightening pressure gradient will increase southwesterly flow through Thursday, which will in turn deteriorate boating conditions, especially offshore. Shower and lightning storm chances increase Thursday through the weekend. There is the potential for isolated strong storms each day, especially during the afternoons. Mariners should keep an eye to the western sky for approaching storms. .GULF STREAM HAZARDS...Southwest winds 15 to 20 knots.
