AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 158 Pm Edt Tue Apr 16 2024
Synopsis..
high pressure centered near bermuda will continue to extend its axis westward across the local waters through Thursday, keeping a prevailing southerly wind flow in place. Evening wind surges may briefly bring speeds up towards caution levels, especially offshore, by midweek. A weak cold front entering the southeastern states on Thursday may stall over the georgia waters by Friday, resulting in a brief period of light and variable wind directions across our local waters. Southwesterly winds may strengthen somewhat late in the weekend ahead of another approaching cold front, which could bring chances for showers and Thunderstorms by Sunday afternoon and evening.
