Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
129 AM EDT Tue Aug 19 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle easterly breezes expected into Wednesday. As Hurricane Erin
recurves between well offshore the US east coast and Bermuda during
the midweek, winds clock around to the west by Wednesday night, but
remain gentle. Given small pressure gradient, a seabreeze develops
each afternoon and evening near the coast. Shower and thunderstorm
chances remain, but the potential for waterspouts is generally until
Thursday or Friday. Briefly higher winds and seas in the vicinity of
thunderstorms.
