Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line
out to 60 nm
118 AM EST Thu Mar 5 2026

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle east to southeast breezes will prevail for the rest of this
week, becoming moderate each night through Friday night during the
nocturnal surge in the easterlies. Daily afternoon seabreezes will
prevail over the nearshore waters. Sea fog will also be a concern
through this weekend due to the moist air mass over winter-chilled
waters. The high pressure ridge over the Southeast States will
settle more directly across the northeast Gulf on Sunday and Monday,
causing winds to become lighter.
