Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
129 PM EDT Fri Oct 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A prolonged period of Small Craft Advisory conditions will continue
into Sunday across the coastal waters due a tight pressure gradient
between high pressure to our north and a stalled front to our south.
East-Northeast winds of 20 to 30 knots and significant wave heights
rapidly increasing just offshore to 5 to 8 feet, highest to the west
of the Ochlockonee River. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will
increase as the front lifts north over the weekend with waterspouts
possible. While easterly winds relax some Monday, periods of winds
around 15 to 20 knots may linger thru midweek, which would promote
elevated seas.
