.SYNOPSIS...
Widespread showers and the potential for strong to severe storms
are expected over our local waters through late afternoon mainly
over the northeast Florida waters. Stronger storms may produce
wind gusts of 35-50 knots and small hail and perhaps a waterspout.
Conditions will improve from north to south late this afternoon
and early evening as the cold front moves across the coastal
waters. Westerly winds will gradually subside overnight and early
Thursday as weak high pressure moves over the southeastern
states. Winds will turn southerly on Friday ahead of the next
frontal boundary that will impact our area this weekend. Showers
and thunderstorms will likely impact our local waters late Friday
night through the weekend, with a few strong storms possible this
weekend.
