Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
143 AM EDT Tue Jul 22 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

As high pressure slides off to our west, winds will remain light
out of the west to northwest. An area of low pressure will move in
from the east Wednesday into Thursday, bringing a return to
moderate south to southeast winds before diminishing into the
weekend. Some cautionary conditions may be possible Thursday
depending on the strength of the low. Otherwise, showers and
thunderstorms are expected to become more numerous over the next
several days, primarily during the overnight and early morning
hours. However, storms moving offshore during the afternoon are
also possible. Gusty winds, dangerous lightning, and waterspouts
are possible with the storms.
