Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
931 PM EST Fri Feb 7 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Surface high pressure nearby maintains fair-weather boating
conditions through the weekend outside of sea fog. The most
susceptible areas are the nearshore waters and Apalachee Bay.
Visibility of 1 nautical mile or less is expected at times and
likely lingers into the afternoon hours. Rain chances return to
the forecast on Monday with the arrival of a frontal system from
the northwest. Stronger, more progressive fronts look to sweep
through the waters later next week. As this occurs, winds and seas
will be on the uptick by midweek.
