Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River
309 AM EST Fri Jan 10 2025
SYNOPSIS
High pressure moves into the western Atlantic and will produce east
southeast winds around 15 knots and rain-free conditions through
late this evening. The next weather system will move through the
eastern gulf waters late Friday into Saturday afternoon bringing the
next round of showers and storms to the area. Increasing southerly
winds to around 20 knots and building seas in the vicinity of this
front has prompted the issuance of a Small Craft Advisory from this
evening through Saturday morning. Rain-free conditions, decreasing
winds and abating seas expected late Saturday into Sunday. Another
area of low pressure moves through the eastern gulf waters on Monday
with a chance of showers and a stray storm. A slight uptick in winds
and seas expected late Monday into Tuesday.
