GMZ700-131915- Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 203 AM EDT Sun Jul 13 2025 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure over the central Gulf will bring a light to moderate northwesterly wind to the coastal waters today and Monday. Showers and thunderstorms remain possible, especially in the mornings, with waterspouts possible. A trough of low pressure moves through the northeastern Gulf by mid- week, allowing winds to turn more northeasterly Tuesday and southeasterly to southerly by Wednesday and Thursday. The chance that this develops into a tropical or subtropical cyclone is 20% through day 7. The main concern at this time is increased chances of showers and thunderstorms, which may lead to locally higher winds and seas. $$ GMZ735-131915- St. Andrews Bay Waterways- 103 AM CDT Sun Jul 13 2025 .TODAY...Northwest winds 5 to 10 knots, becoming west this afternoon.
