Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1143 AM EDT Tue Jul 2 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary will remain stalled over the Georgia waters
through Wednesday. Prevailing winds will shift to easterly this
afternoon as high pressure building over the Mid-Atlantic states
wedges down the southeastern seaboard. Showers and thunderstorms
will increase in coverage across our local waters along and south
of this stalled frontal boundary through Wednesday. The frontal
boundary will gradually dissipate over the Georgia waters by
Thursday, with prevailing onshore winds continuing as high
pressure weakens off the eastern seaboard. Coverage of showers and
thunderstorms are expected to decrease across our local waters
late this week through Saturday, with prevailing winds then
shifting to southwesterly during the weekend ahead of the next
weakening frontal boundary that will be entering the southeastern
states.
