Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
853 PM EDT Sat Apr 19 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A strong high pressure ridge stretching from Bermuda to the
coastal Carolinas will keep moderate to perhaps fresh southeast
breezes over the waters through Tuesday morning. The high pressure
ridge axis will push south closer to the waters on Tuesday and
Wednesday, as a weakening cold front dissipates over the Southeast
States. High pressure will strengthen off the Northeast U.S. coast
around Thursday, bringing a restrengthening of east or southeast
breezes over the northeast Gulf waters.
