Coastal Waters Forecast for Northeast Florida/Southeast Georgia
National Weather Service Jacksonville FL
A ridge of high pressure will slowly move south into the area coastal waters today and then push south of the waters by Saturday morning. For today, an area of small craft advisory conditions will exist over the southeast marine waters with winds and seas diminishing further by this evening and overnight. The high pressure system will stay south of the waters Saturday through Monday causing west and southwest winds ahead of an approaching cold front. This cold front will move into the waters Monday night resulting in a strong surge of northeasterly winds and building seas into Tuesday.
