Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1022 AM EDT Mon Aug 11 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Maritime convection will flourish the next couple of days thanks
to a tropical wave traversing the Northern Gulf. Locally gusty
winds, frequent lightning, reduced visibility, and waterspouts
will be the main concerns. Otherwise, gentle to moderate south to
southeast breezes prevail into mid-week. Thereafter, winds turn
more southwesterly in response to a ridge of high pressure
building over the region. Showers and thunderstorms will be more
diurnally driven, beginning over water during the late night,
early-morning hours, then shifting to the coast with the afternoon
seabreeze.
