Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm-

.Synopsis...

West-northwest winds will be gusty at times as a weak front moves
across the area and low pressure positions itself northeast of the
area. Winds will then shift easterly by the mid-week dominant period as the
low shifts away from the area and high pressure builds our north,
with speeds remaining relatively light. The threat of thunderstorms,
some of which could be strong, will persist through Tuesday with
these storms resulting in periods of locally hazardous winds and
seas.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
May 18, 2024 at 12 UTC...

  7 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
  9 nautical miles east of Port Everglades.
  7 nautical miles southeast of Lake Worth.
  6 nautical miles east southeast of Jupiter Inlet.
