GMZ800 Synopsis For The Coastal Waters From Bonita Beach To Suwannee River- 829 Pm Edt Thu Sep 19 2024
Synopsis - Showers and storms continue to fire along a weak frontal boundary that's extending through the eastern gulf waters. Light northwest winds less than 10 knots will persist through this evening. By Friday morning, the front moves southeast and dissipates allowing for high pressure to build in from the north. This will produce a northeast through easterly wind flow over the weekend, but remaining 15 knots of less. With high pressure building into the area, some drier air will filter into the region resulting in lower rain chances over the weekend and into next week. No headlines are expected.

VFR conditions expected overnight across most terminals, except there is potential for radiational fog to develop as skies clear and moist enough conditions are in place, especially near LAL. On the other side, north to northeasterly winds prevail pushing slightly drier over the area. This should keep POPs low with LAL having a nonzero chance of showers or isolated storm to be near during the afternoon. However, confidence is not high enough at this time with highest chances expected to be east of the site.
Going into the evening, winds become easterly and increase slightly before diminishing overnight.
UPDATE
Issued at 714 PM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024
A few inland storms drifting SE this evening. Others could possibly develop along the outflow boundaries and drift back towards the coast. Otherwise, conditions quiet down overnight with the NW flow becoming light and variable. Some drier air moves over the area this weekend limiting rain chances for the next few days.
