.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...

Light to gentle southerly winds will prevail today before shifting
southeasterly into midweek. Afternoon sea breezes will produce
localized wind shifts each day, turning winds southeasterly over the
Atlantic waters today and southwesterly over the Gulf waters later
in the period. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will
develop over the local waters each day. While the wave forecast
depicts wave heights in the 1-2 feet range, it`s important to note
that gusty and erratic winds, along with brief periods of rough
waves (above specified forecast values) will be possible in and
around thunderstorms. A few fair weather waterspouts are possible
today especially over the Atlantic waters.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None
