.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...

will subside below headline levels once again. Showers and storms
remain likely until the deep layer ridging takes hold late this week
into the weekend, resulting in a period of drier conditions.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None.
