Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
1039 AM EDT Fri Apr 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

A frontal boundary situated over the Georgia waters will stall
over the northeast Florida waters this afternoon before
dissipating tonight. Meanwhile, strong high pressure off the
northeast coast will wedge down the coastline beginning this
afternoon, resulting in strengthening onshore winds and building
seas. Small Craft Advisory conditions are likely Saturday and into
Sunday night for Northeast Florida offshore waters, with Caution
conditions prevailing elsewhere across our local waters. High
pressure will then shift southward while gradually weakening late
this weekend, becoming anchored off the southeastern seaboard for
much of next week. Winds and seas will gradually diminish from
Sunday afternoon through the early portions of the upcoming week.
