Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
316 PM EDT Sat Aug 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle to moderate southwest breezes will prevail through Tuesday
morning, as a summer cold front hangs up north of the waters
across south Alabama and south Georgia. The front will dissipate
on Tuesday, so gradients will become weak and winds will become
light. Late night and morning thunderstorms will be prevalent
through early Tuesday during the late night and morning hours,
when frequent lightning, waterspouts, and reduced visibility in
heavy rain should be expected.
