Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
1020 AM EDT Fri Mar 28 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Surface high pressure off the coastal Carolinas and an area of low
pressure approaching from Eastern Texas fosters east to southeast
winds across the waters. Small craft should exercise caution west
of Apalachicola today as the pressure gradient tightens. Nocturnal
easterly surges are expected off the Nature Coast into Apalachee
Bay heading into the weekend. By Saturday, the surface low`s
arrival supports returning chances for showers and thunderstorms
with cautionary boating conditions. A stronger storm system moves
through the region Monday into Tuesday.
