SYNOPSIS FOR ALTAMAHA SOUND GA TO FLAGLER BEACH FL OUT TO 60 NM-
1159 AM EDT FRI OCT 2 2026
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE POSITIONED NEAR BERMUDA WILL MAINTAIN A PREVAILING
SOUTHEASTERLY WIND FLOW ACROSS OUR LOCAL WATERS THROUGH THE
WEEKEND. MEANWHILE, A SURGE OF TROPICAL MOISTURE OVERSPREADING
OUR LOCAL WATERS WILL RESULT IN WAVES OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
MOVING FROM SOUTH TO NORTH THROUGH THE WEEKEND. OUTSIDE OF
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, WINDS AND SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN BELOW
CAUTION LEVELS THROUGH AT LEAST MONDAY AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE, A
COLD FRONT ENTERING THE SOUTHEASTERN STATES ON SATURDAY WILL SLOW
ITS FORWARD PROGRESS, MOVING ACROSS THE GEORGIA WATERS ON MONDAY
AND THEN STALLING OVER THE NORTHEAST FLORIDA WATERS BY TUESDAY.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND MID
ATLANTIC REGION IN THE WAKE OF THIS FRONT WILL WEDGE DOWN THE
SOUTHEASTERN SEABOARD, PROVIDING A PROLONGED SURGE OF
NORTHEASTERLY WINDS AND BUILDING SEAS ACROSS OUR LOCAL WATERS.
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS ARE LIKELY BY TUESDAY, WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR WIND GUSTS NEAR GALE FORCE THROUGH THURSDAY.
