Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
142 PM EDT Sat Jul 12 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

The coastal waters will be under the influence of subtropical high
pressure through this weekend with southwest winds maximizing near
the coast with the daily seabreeze. Shower and thunderstorm chances
will be greatest during the morning hours through early next week,
with waterspouts possible, especially Sunday morning. Winds clock
around to northwest Sunday night into Monday.

As a weak trough of low pressure crosses the waters Tuesday through
Thursday, winds clock around northeast to southerly. 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.
