.Synopsis for Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef FL out to 60 nm and for
East Cape Sable to Bonita Beach FL out to 60 nm...

Gentle and variable winds will prevail across the local waters
through Monday. Seas remain in the 1-2 feet range across the local
waters. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop over the
local waters, with gusty and erratic winds and periods of rough
waves possible in their vicinity.

On Tuesday, winds begin to pick up out of the northeast at 10 to
15 kts. This will allow for seas to start climbing into the 2 to
3 feet range late in the day on Tuesday. Seas will continue to climb
through the midweek period, mainly for the waters off of Palm Beach.
Winds will also increase to near 20 kts for all waters, so Small
Craft Advisories may be needed. Chances for showers and storms will
increase to around 80% areawide.
