GMZ700-041415- 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. $$ GMZ735-041415- St. Andrews Bay Waterways- 807 PM CDT Sun Aug 3 2025 .REST OF TONIGHT...Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots.
