Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
844 PM EDT Tue Jul 15 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

A trough of low pressure will move west across the waters on
Wednesday and Wednesday night. There is a 40 percent chance that
this trough could form into a tropical depression while
traversing the northeast and north-central Gulf. Once the trough
moves west of the waters, fresh and possibly strong southerly
breezes are likely on Thursday. The subtropical ridge axis will
build westward across the Florida Peninsula and into the eastern
Gulf from Friday through the weekend.
