Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia

National Weather Service Jacksonville FL

A strong cold front will move south of the waters this afternoon. Gale warnings and small craft advisories are in effect for a strong northeasterly wind surge behind the front today through Wednesday. Scattered showers and possibly a thunderstorm are expected today through tonight mainly across the northeast Florida waters. High pressure will then begin to build in from the north Wednesday night resulting in winds lowering but seas will remain elevated and rough. Another cold front will enter the southeast states on Friday night, crossing our local waters on Saturday. Strong high pressure will again build to the north of our area in the wake of this front, resulting in another surge of onshore winds throughout our local waters and possible Gale conditions during the weekend.
