Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
High pressure north of the region will wedge down the southeastern seaboard tonight while a coastal trough forms east of the waters with isolated showers offshore. Elevated winds and seas will bring Small Craft Advisory conditions over the Northeast Florida and Offshore Southeast Georgia waters later tonight through Thursday afternoon. Winds and seas are expected to diminish by Friday as high pressure center reforms to the west of the waters before settling over the local waters Friday night into Saturday. The high will sink south of the waters on Sunday into Monday with southwest to westerly winds ahead of a cold front moving into the waters next Tuesday with increasing northeasterly winds and seas.
