Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
401 AM EDT Sun Apr 6 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Fresh to strong southerly breezes continue over waters today due
to the tight pressure gradient between high pressure to the east
and a cold front to our northwest. Gusts of 25-30 kt are likely
this afternoon. The cold front enters our region tonight and
clears the area by Monday night. Showers and thunderstorms are
likely with the front, some of which may be strong to severe.
Borderline advisory level conditions are expected ahead of the
front tonight, but we should see another bout of advisory- level
northwesterly winds behind the front Monday afternoon. Seas will
remain around 4 to 7 feet. Winds and seas finally begin to subside
Tuesday night with light to moderate breezes through the end of
the week.
