Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
807 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 from the
Okaloosa-Walton County line to the Ochlockonee River, which is
currently in effect through Tuesday evening, then beginning for
the waters from the Ochlockonee River to the Suwanee River at
4 AM ET through early Tuesday afternoon. 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.
