Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
222 AM EDT Tue Apr 30 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered off the South Carolina coast will weaken
and shift eastward today as a weakening frontal boundary enters
the southeastern states. South-southeasterly winds prevail this
morning with a coastal surge in the afternoon as the Atlantic sea
breeze shifts inland. Isolated showers and thunderstorms may
develop over our local waters today into Wednesday as the
dissipating frontal boundary moves over our area. Another high
pressure center will then build over coastal New England late this
week, resulting in onshore winds redeveloping over our local
waters. A cold front is then expected to enter the southeast
states by Saturday night and Sunday, possibly bringing a chance of
showers and thunderstorms to our region by late in the upcoming
weekend.
