Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
907 PM EDT Sun Aug 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle to moderate south and southwest breezes will prevail until
Wednesday morning, thanks to a weak surface low along the north-
central Gulf coast and a stalled front across southern Alabama and
Georgia. Those features will dissipate late Wednesday, and high
pressure will bridge in weakly from the northeast on Thursday.
This will bring a turn to light and gentle easterly breezes from
Thursday night onward. Otherwise, late night and morning
thunderstorms will be prevalent through early Wednesday, bringing
frequent lightning, waterspouts, and reduced visibility in heavy
downpours.
