Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
129 PM EDT Sun Aug 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

The pesky stationary boundary that has meandered around the coast
and Gulf waters will gradually move south as an upstream cold
front moves into the southeast US. That front will reach the Gulf
waters Monday night into Tuesday. Chances for showers and
thunderstorms will remain until a reinforcing shot of drier air
finally pushes the fronts into the central Gulf Wednesday. Little
chances for rain is anticipated as northerly flow and drier air
sets up Wednesday and Thursday. Brief rounds of cautionary winds
could occur in waters west of Apalachicola during the overnight
hours Tuesday Night and Wednesday Night. As surface high pressure
moves by to the north late week, winds begin to clock to the
northeast and east with moisture returning as well as chances for
rainfall late week and into next weekend.
