920 AM EDT Thu Sep 21 2023

.SYNOPSIS...A stalled frontal boundary will remain over central
Florida and the adjacent Atlantic waters today. Low pressure will
develop along this boundary north of the Bahamas late today into
Friday and then move northward. This will cause freshening
northeast to north winds and building seas, with poor to hazardous
boating conditions developing late this afternoon through
Saturday, especially offshore and over the Gulf Stream. Scattered
to numerous showers and lightning storms are forecast today.
Chances for showers and storms are forecast to decrease over the
local Atlantic waters into the weekend.


.GULF STREAM HAZARDS...Seas building to 6 feet offshore late this
afternoon, and up to 7 feet offshore, north of Sebastian Inlet
tonight.

48 nautical miles east of Ponce Inlet.
35 nautical miles east of Port Canaveral.
