GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 737 Pm Est Sat Dec 9 2023
Synopsis.. South and southeast winds will continue tonight and Sunday ahead of an approaching cold front. Under these south winds, there is a small chance that some sea fog could develop early Sunday morning around the tampa bay, but confidence is not high enough to include fog in the forecast at this time. A line of Thunderstorms will develop ahead of the front and move southeast through the waters Sunday afternoon and early evening, with gusty winds and isolated waterspouts possible with the strongest storms. Winds and seas will then increase to small craft advisory levels behind the front Sunday night and Monday as winds turn to northwesterly and then northeasterly by Monday night. Winds and seas will subside slightly late Monday, but will remain near small craft advisory levels through the rest of the week.

VFR through the initial part of the cycle with mainly light SE winds before concern shifts to showers and storms pushing SE across terminals generally after around 21-22Z or so ahead of an approaching cold front. Restrictions likely with passage before bulk of convection clears northern terminals by around 01-02Z and southern terminals by around 02-03Z, with RA or SHRA likely lingering for another few hours before diminishing. Convection likely to weaken with southward extent over time, so a bit more uncertainty for southern terminals regarding intensity/timing.
Winds increase and shift S then SW through the morning into early afternoon while becoming gusty, generally 10-15 knots with higher gusts, before veering to NW behind the front. Post-frontal MVFR cigs likely to develop as precip gradually diminishes and cool advection regime begins settling in.
