out to 60 nm
204 AM EDT Sun Oct 5 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

The prolonged Small Craft Advisory conditions prevail for another
day with another strong easterly surge expected tonight. Showers
and thunderstorms become more numerous today as an area of low
pressure to our west along a weak front lifts northward.
Waterspouts will be possible in the stronger storms. At least
cautionary conditions are expected Monday with another near-
advisory level surge Monday night. However, as the pressure
gradient relaxes Tuesday into the rest of the week, winds will
become more moderate to fresh with seas settling to 2 to 4 feet.
