Synopsis for the Suwannee River to Okaloosa-Walton county Line out to 60 nm 127 PM EDT Wed Oct 7 2026

SYNOPSIS

Fresh to strong northeasterly breezes continue over the northeastern Gulf through at least mid-week. Seas will build to greater than 3 feet today and remain elevated through the rest of the week. A stalled front over the northeastern Gulf will cause scattered to numerous showers and a few thunderstorms to persist through the week, especially just offshore. Eyes turn to Isaias in the Bay of Campeche for potential impacts late week into the weekend. Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches have been issued for our waters through Saturday as Isaias approaches the northern Gulf.
