GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 746 Pm Est Sun Dec 10 2023
Synopsis..
the rain will taper off tonight as high pressure and drier air builds in from the north. Gusty nw winds and building seas are expected tonight in the wake of the cold front with small craft advisory conditions expected through Monday afternoon. Winds then shift to the northeast through the remainder of the week and will be near or exceeding small craft advisory levels as a tight pressure gradient sets up, which will make for a prolonged stretch of unpleasant boating conditions.
