Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1036 AM EDT Thu Jul 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light to moderate westerly to southwesterly breezes continue
across the northeastern Gulf thanks to high pressure anchored in
the Atlantic. A weakening cold front moving into the waters
today will increase west to northwest breezes temporarily. A weak
area of low pressure may develop along the tail end of the
remnant front over the northeastern Gulf Friday or Saturday.
Otherwise, late night and early morning thunderstorms are expected
the next several days; they`ll come with gusty winds, lightning,
and the potential for waterspouts.
