Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-
318 AM EDT Tue Jun 3 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will continue to
develop at nearly anytime across coastal waters over the next couple
days as an upper-level low continues to remain situated across the
region. Locally hazardous winds and seas will be possible in the
vicinity. Otherwise, an ESE flow of 10 to 15 knots is expected, but
could approach 15 to 20 knots for a couple hours overnight as the
onshore resistance fades away with the setting sun. As the low pulls
away later in the week, winds are forecast to become lighter, and
gradually veer back to the WSW towards the weekend as showers and
thunderstorms continue to develop across coastal waters at times.
