Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
242 PM EDT Thu Jul 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light to moderate westerly to southwesterly breezes continue across
the northeastern Gulf thanks to high pressure anchored in the
Atlantic. A weakening cold front moving into the waters today will
increase west to northwest breezes temporarily. A weak area of low
pressure may develop off the east coast of Florida, allowing for
northwesterly winds to stick around into early next week. Otherwise,
late night and early morning thunderstorms are expected the next
several days; they`ll come with gusty winds, lightning, and the
potential for waterspouts.
