Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
711 PM EST Wed Dec 18 2024
.SYNOPSIS...
Elevated seas will remain in place tonight with Small Craft
Advisory conditions across the Northeast Florida coastal waters.
Dense sea fog will likely redevelop before midnight across our
local waters, and may persist through the early morning hours on
Thursday before the front crosses our local waters. North
northwesterly winds will develop on Thursday in the wake of this
front, with winds then shifting to northerly by late Friday as a
reinforcing dry cold front pushes southward through our area.
Strong high pressure building over the Great Lakes region in the
wake of this reinforcing front will result in strengthening north-
northeasterly winds and building seas from Friday night through
the weekend. Winds and seas may approach Small Craft Advisory
levels late this weekend and early next week.
