Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia

National Weather Service Jacksonville FL

South and southwest winds will increase through tonight as a cold front moves to a line from north Georgia to the west Florida panhandle. Winds increase tonight and reach exercise caution levels. The cold front will move into the area waters by midday Thursday, accompanied by showers and a few thunderstorms. Strengthening northwest and north winds expected in the wake of this frontal passage and will create Small Craft Advisory conditions with gale force gusts throughout our local waters by late Thursday afternoon, with these conditions continuing on Thursday night through late Friday morning as high pressure briefly builds over the Mid-Atlantic states. Winds will quickly shift to the northeast Thursday night and speeds gradually diminish on Friday afternoon and evening. The front will move back north as a warm front Saturday night into Sunday morning. Another cold front is expected Monday.
