Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1118 AM EDT Mon Jul 1 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary pushing through the southeastern states this
afternoon will stall overnight and Tuesday over the Georgia
waters. Southerly winds will prevail through early Tuesday, with
winds shifting to easterly by Tuesday afternoon as high pressure
building towards the Mid-Atlantic coast wedges down the
southeastern seaboard. Showers and thunderstorms will increase in
coverage across our local waters on Tuesday and 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 southerly during the weekend ahead of the next frontal
boundary that will be entering the southeastern states.
