Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
145 AM EDT Tue Oct 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Advisory level conditions should subside through the middle of
the week as easterly flow lets up. However, sustained winds around
15 knots out of the east, with occasional easterly surges at
night, will likely keep cautionary conditions in place through the
week. A backdoor cold front Thursday evening will likely bring a
reintensification of advisory level northeasterly flow and higher
seas. This will likely last through much of the upcoming weekend.
