Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
403 AM EDT Wed Jul 3 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

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 a stalled frontal
boundary through today. 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.
