Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
117 PM EST Sun Feb 15 2026
.SYNOPSIS...
A robust low pressure system moving across the southeastern US this
afternoon will lose some of its steam as it moves toward the Mid
Atlantic coast tonight where it will reintensify. The cold front
associated with the system will send a squall line across the waters
this afternoon and evening and may require Special Marine Warnings
for both waterspouts and strong outflow winds. Outside of the
influence from thunderstorms, strong southerly winds will lead to
Small Craft Conditions and occasional Gale force gusts through the
evening. Winds will gradually diminish overnight while turning
northerly. High pressure building to the north behind the front will
lead to breezy northeasterly winds through Monday afternoon. Winds
relax through midweek as high pressure drifts farther northeastward
across the central Atlantic.
