Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
942 AM EDT Tue Sep 2 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Winds and seas have fallen below advisory criteria, but small
craft operators should exercise caution through this afternoon.
Easterly flow looks to be in control over the forecast period as a
stationary front will remain positioned well to the south of our
marine zones; introducing a slight chance of scattered showers and
thunderstorms for our far offshore zones. Conditions should
generally remain below advisory conditions through the end of the
forecast period, however cautionary conditions could be possible
during the overnight hours again through tomorrow morning.
