GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 809 Pm Edt Fri May 17 2024
Synopsis - Southwest to west winds will continue through the weekend ahead of an approaching frontal boundary, which will bring increasing rain chances to the waters starting Saturday and continuing through Sunday and even into early next week. Rain chances then diminish for the rest of the week as high pressure builds in. Overall, no headlines are expected, just higher winds and seas within storms.

VFR conditions should prevail through most of the period across terminals. However, there is a non-zero chance for MFVR ceilings that could develop during the early morning hours due to the potential for patchy fog. If this materializes, it should dissipate after sunrise. Southerly winds are expected to gradually become breezy into the afternoon hours and shifting from the southwest. Wind speeds decrease towards the end of the period.

DISCUSSION
A weakened MCS responsible for some early storms continues to shift eastward away from the region this afternoon as a frontal boundary remains draped across the central peninsula. With low- level southwest winds in place, expect any remaining rainfall to generally shift inland through the rest of the day, though overall chances are low. The boundary continues to lift northward tonight into Saturday, with southwest winds continuing ahead of another front moving into the southeast. With this setup in place, we can expect more showers and storms for Saturday afternoon, with the best chances north and then inland. By Saturday night into Sunday, the front will move over the peninsula, with higher rain chances through the day. The boundary lingers over south Florida for Monday, keeping a chance for some showers and storms in the forecast, but then high pressure builds in and keeps rain chances lower through the rest of the week.
