Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
304 AM EDT Wed May 28 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
Scattered thunderstorms are likely to develop along the pinned
sea breeze this afternoon and shift eastward over the nearshore
waters and fade as they progress offshore. Little change in the
flow pattern will yield similar weather trends on Thursday. By
Friday, westerly flow will strengthen to Exercise Caution levels
offshore ahead of an approaching cool front. Strong to severe
thunderstorms are possible ahead of the front as it pushes across
the waters Friday night. A drier airmass and a weak pressure
pattern should allow a sea breeze dominant weather pattern to
return and fair weather this weekend.
