Synopsis for Altamaha Sound GA to Flagler Beach FL out to 60 nm-
543 AM EST Sat Dec 13 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
High pressure centered over our local waters this morning will
shift eastward this afternoon ahead of an Arctic cold front that
will enter the southeastern states tonight. This strong cold front
will cross our area from the northwest on Sunday, with only a few
showers possible on Sunday night and Monday morning, mainly
offshore. North-northwesterly winds will strengthen in the wake
of this frontal passage on Sunday afternoon and will shift to
north northeasterly on Sunday night. Small Craft Advisories will
likely be issued for Sunday afternoon, with Gale Warnings also
likely throughout our local waters on Sunday Night and Monday
morning as winds shift to northeasterly as Arctic high pressure
wedges down the southeastern seaboard. This high pressure center
will gradually weaken over the southeastern states early next
week as coastal troughing develops over our local waters. Onshore
winds and seas will then gradually subside from Monday afternoon
through Tuesday. Coastal troughing may generate a few showers
early next week, mainly offshore. High pressure will then shift
eastward and off the southeastern seaboard by midweek, with a
weaker frontal boundary likely approaching our local waters late
next week.
