Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
140 PM EDT Sun Aug 24 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Long period swells will continue to impact our local waters,
keeping combined seas elevated through tonight. Areas near inlets
may be choppy from this swell activity today. Meanwhile, a slow
moving cold front positioned across Interstate 10 this morning
will slowly drift southward through tonight. Showers and
thunderstorms will impact our local waters this afternoon through
early evening. The frontal boundary will then push south of our
local waters on Monday evening, stalling across the Florida
peninsula by midweek, resulting in a decreasing coverage of
showers and thunderstorms for our area on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Breezy northeasterly winds will may then develop by Wednesday and
Thursday as high pressure builds over the Ohio Valley and coastal
troughing develops across the northeast Florida waters, where
chances for showers and thunderstorms will increase later this
week.
