.Synopsis...

Gentle to moderate southwesterly flow tonight into Monday morning
will gradually shift northwesterly today as a weak front approaches
the area and low pressure positions itself northeast of the area.
Winds will then shift easterly by the mid-week dominant period as the low
shifts away from the area and high pressure builds our north, with
speeds remaining relatively light. The threat of thunderstorms, some
of which could be strong, will persist through Tuesday with these
storms resulting in periods of locally hazardous winds and seas.

Gulf Stream Hazards: None.

The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of
May 18, 2024 at 12 UTC...

  7 nautical miles east of Fowey Rocks.
  9 nautical miles east of Port Everglades.
