Synopsis For The Suwannee River To Destin Out To 60 Nm
Synopsis
A low pressure system will move east along the northeast Gulf Coast and dissipate later today and tonight... allowing seas and moderate onshore winds to gradually subside. Winds will become west tonight and offshore by early Monday with rain ending. Then...the coastal waters will be under the influence of Continental high pressure for the remainder of the work week...resulting in offshore winds. Winds and seas will likely increase Thursday as higher pressure builds to the north pushing a reinforcing cold front south into the northern Gulf region.
