10/9/2019 Updated the Marine Zones. 9/4/2019 Fixed the weather maps due to NOAA moving them. 7/25/2019 New feature in the Airports section gives a link to 5 minute updates for data reports. 6/2/2019. Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 815 Pm Est Fri Dec 6 2019
Synopsis.. A weak area of low pressure will move into the gulf on Saturday bringing with it a chance of some showers, especially across the northern waters. This low will weaken and dissipate on Sunday as surface high pressure builds down the eastern seaboard. The high will move east into the atlantic early next week with the ridge axis extending back to the southwest across the central waters with a light southeast to southerly wind flow expected. A cold front will approach the northern waters late Tuesday and then move south through the waters Tuesday night into early Wednesday with some showers along and ahead of it. Poor boating conditions can be expected by mid to late week after the passage of the front as strong northeast winds set in.

UPDATE . The 00Z sounding this evening sampled our cloud-free atmosphere with 0.49 PWAT. Radiational cooling will be the culprit for our last chilly night before we see a noticeable warming trend continue into early next week. As a weak surface low develops in the Gulf, isentropic ascent will result in some mid level clouds tomorrow afternoon/evening, especially farther north. A stray shower or two is possible across the Nature Coast, but overall these are expected to remain well over the waters. Highs still expected to range from 70 north to upper 70s south. Forecast appears on track with no changes necessary.

I do not believe this site is subject to CCPA but I am doing what I can to follow the guidelines anyway. Disclaimer: The information on this web site has not been checked for accuracy. It is for entertainment purposes only and should be independently verified before using for any other reason. There are five sources. 1) Documents and manuals from a variety of sources. These have not been checked for accuracy and in many cases have not even been read by anyone associated with L-36.com.

These are not intended to be fact, they are my opinions. 4) Small programs that generate result presented on a web page. Like any computer program, these may and in some cases do have errors. Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors. Please verify all results. 5) Weather information is from numerious of sources and is presented automatically. It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
