.SYNOPSIS...Southeasterly breezes will continue to freshen
this afternoon as Hurricane Helene emerges into the southern
Gulf. Thereafter, the storm will track northeastward toward the
Big Bend region of Florida, and we will see the closest pass from
Helene to the Florida Keys coastal waters later this evening
through Thursday morning when the peak southeasterly to southerly
winds and highest seas are expected to occur. As the storm passes,
breezes will shift to the south to southwest while gradually
diminishing while seas begin to subside Thursday night through
Friday. Winds further diminish heading through the weekend.
