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

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary will remain stalled over the Georgia waters
through Wednesday. Prevailing winds have shifted to easterly 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.
