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.
