Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
439 AM EST Thu Nov 7 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

At 4 AM EST, the center of Hurricane Rafael was located about 180
miles west of Key West, Florida. Rafael was moving to the
northwest at 12 mph. A turn to the west is expected later today.
Rafael will move over the southern Gulf of Mexico for the next few
days while weakening, staying well south of the waters. So the
main impact will be long- period swell spreading out from Rafael,
exceeding 7 feet at times beyond 20 NM offshore. Otherwise
through Monday, high pressure off to the northeast will maintain
easterly breezes.
