Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida .SYNOPSIS...Satellite imagery and Doppler radar data indicate that the well-defined low pressure area located about 40 miles southeast of Brunswick, Georgia, is producing minimal shower and thunderstorm activity at this time. The low is likely to move inland during the next several hours, and the chances of the system becoming a tropical depression are decreasing. However, interests along the coasts of Georgia and northeastern Florida should continue to monitor the progress of the system until it moves inland. Regardless of development, fresh to strong SE winds and rough seas to 8 ft will prevail across the waters N of 30N and W of 78W through tonight.
