Detailed Forecast

Synopsis: A frontal boundary stalled near the Florida and Georgia border will remain nearly stationary through Thursday evening. Showers and thunderstorms will move over the near shore waters this afternoon and evening and again on Thursday afternoon and evening, with strong to isolated severe storms possible both days. Stronger thunderstorms will be capable of producing strong winds, frequent lightning strikes, and reduced visibilities during heavier downpours. Onshore winds will prevail today, with offshore winds developing on Thursday morning. Atlantic high pressure will then lift northward beginning on Friday, resulting in the frontal boundary lifting slowly north of our local waters during the weekend. Afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms are expected again on Friday, with decreasing coverage from the weekend through early next week. Prevailing offshore winds on Friday and Saturday will shift to onshore by Sunday, with prevailing onshore winds continuing into early next week.
