Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1112 AM EDT Sun Oct 6 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

High pressure will be northeast of the region today. The region
will be between a trough across south central Florida and a front
across the southeast states. Tropical cyclone Milton, over the
southwest Gulf of Mexico today, is expected to move east to northeast
into the central Gulf early Tuesday morning. Milton is currently
expected to make landfall over the west coast of Florida Wednesday,
then move east northeast across Florida. There is still uncertainty
in the exact track and timing of Milton, but impacts from Milton
are expected across the area. The storm is expected to move east
of area waters late Thursday, but elevated wind and sea conditions
will remain on its back side.

Please monitor the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane
Center regarding Milton, as Tropical Storm or Hurricane conditions
are possible over the local waters mid week.
