GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 321 Am Edt Thu Apr 25 2024
Synopsis..
no major changes to the forecast as light and variable winds are expected through the early morning. Winds will then shift to the east and southeasterly allowing for a brief period of onshore flow this afternoon. Winds once again go light and variable overnight, with a east and south east flow regime taking over on Friday and continuing into the weekend. With a strong pressure gradient developing, and the combination of the atlantic seabreeze, expect cautionary/advisory level conditions to develop for the weekend. The strongest winds are likely to be in the overnight and early morning hours as the easterly surges from the atlantic seabreeze pass through.
