Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia

National Weather Service Jacksonville FL

Atlantic Coastal Waters from Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm. Seas are provided as a range of the average height of the highest 1/3 of the waves, along with the occasional height of the average highest 1/10 of the waves. Low pressure will continue to develop over the southeastern states this afternoon along the slow moving frontal boundary. This low pressure center will move northeastward towards the coastal Carolina region tonight, dragging the cold front across our local waters on Sunday morning. Showers and a few potentially strong thunderstorms could impact the Georgia waters ahead of this storm system this evening, with showers and possibly a few embedded thunderstorms then pushing southeastward across the rest of our local waters late tonight and Sunday morning. Northwesterly winds will quickly strengthen in the wake of this frontal passage on Sunday afternoon, with Gale Watches posted for frequent Gale force wind gusts through Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, low pressure will parallel the Mid- Atlantic and New England coasts while rapidly strengthening from Sunday night through Monday night, with Small Craft Advisory conditions prevailing locally on Monday night. Arctic high pressure will then build along the northern Gulf coast on Tuesday and will then push southeastward across the Florida peninsula on Tuesday night, allowing for winds and seas to diminish across our local waters. This high pressure center will then push offshore by midweek ahead of another approaching cold front that should impact our local waters late in the upcoming week, with south to southwesterly winds prevailing in advance of this frontal boundary. .GULF STREAM.
