Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
132 PM EST Mon Dec 1 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Rain overspreads the coastal waters from west to east tonight
as fresh breezes necessitate a Small Craft Advisory for the
waters west of Apalachicola to the Okaloosa-Walton County line,
while Small Craft Should Exercise Caution east of Apalachicola to
the Suwanee River through Tuesday; there is a medium chance that
the Small Craft Advisory may need to be extended to encompass
waters east of Apalachicola tonight into Tuesday. Low pressure
nearing the waters will lift a stationary frontal boundary
northward as a warm front tonight with winds becoming southerly,
then clocking around to northwesterly on Tuesday as the low moves
away from the waters. In the meantime, strong thunderstorms are
likely late today into Tuesday, leading to briefly higher winds
and seas, as well as a potential for waterspouts. Patchy fog is
also expected for the cooler shelf waters of Apalachee Bay late
tonight into Tuesday. Tranquil boating conditions are expected to
return by Wednesday and continue into Thursday. The approach of
the next storm system increases winds Thursday night into Friday
with a 30 percent chance of advisory-level conditions.
