Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
432 AM EST Fri Jan 10 2025

.SYNOPSIS...
A 1005 mb low center will track east along the northern Gulf
Coast today, passing across the Florida Big Bend coast this
evening. In advance of the low, a northward moving warm front will
support a freshening of southeast and south breezes, with
frequent gale force gusts expected. As the low pushes east late
this evening, a cold front will sweep across the waters. It will
be followed by strong west to northwest breezes through Saturday
morning. Winds will decrease and clock around as high pressure
moves across the Southeast States on Saturday night. Strong
breezes are likely from Sunday night through Tuesday, while the
next low moves across the eastern Gulf.
