Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
408 AM EDT Thu Jul 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
Pressure gradient between high pressure over the Gulf waters and
low pressure over the Atlantic will keep winds out of the west
through the rest of the week. This should support showers and
storms overnight and early morning hours each day. Then, high
pressure builds along the East Coast resulting in a wind shift
from the east during the weekend. Showers and storm chances then
be highest in the late evening hours as sea breeze storms start
to push off the coast.
