AMZ400 Synopsis For Altamaha Sound Ga To Flagler Beach Fl Out To 60 Nm- 323 Am Edt Thu May 9 2024
Synopsis..
atlantic high pressure will continue to extend its axis westward across the florida peninsula through tonight. Southerly evening wind surges are expected this evening, bringing wind speeds close to caution levels for the offshore waters. Meanwhile, a trough ahead of strong cold front will enter the southeastern states on Thursday night, with chances for showers and Thunderstorms increasing ahead of this boundary from this afternoon through Friday evening. A few rounds of strong to severe Thunderstorms will be possible during this time frame, with damaging wind gusts, hail, and frequent lightning strikes possible within any severe Thunderstorms that develop. The cold front will cross our local waters by late night Friday, with high pressure then gradually building to the north of our area later this weekend and early next week.
