.Synopsis...

Gentle to moderate southwesterly flow this morning will gradually
shift to the west-northwest today as a weak front approaches 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.
