GMZ700 Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Okaloosa-walton County Line Out To 60 Nm 322 Pm Est Fri Dec 8 2023
Synopsis..
southeasterly flow around high pressure over the southwest atlantic will clock around to southerly ahead of a strong cold front, which will sweep across the waters on Sunday, with winds clocking around to the northwest in the wake of the cold front by Sunday night. Winds should remain in the 15 to 20 knot range through early Saturday night, but could briefly reach the advisory threshold for small craft tonight. A more solid period of small craft advisory conditions is expected to begin later Saturday night and persist into Monday. In particular, a few hours of gale force gusts are possible with the passage of the cold front late Saturday into early Sunday, and gale headlines may be needed if confidence increases. A short reprieve with lighter winds on Monday as high pressure briefly traverses the waters. Winds clock around to the northeast by Tuesday, as high pressure settles over the mid- atlantic, with speeds possibly increasing to around 20 knots through midweek.
