The slowing  front will gradually move north to south through the waters Sunday  night bringing showers and isolated thunderstorms as the front  stalls through Monday. In the wake of the front, high pressure will  build to the north resulting in strengthening northeasterly winds  Monday night and the onset of a multiday period of strong onshore  winds throughout next week, likely requiring an extended Small Craft  Advisory. Much stronger high pressure will wedge along the coast  Wednesday resulting in further strengthening and potential for gales  and seas building potentially up to 15 feet across the waters. As  high pressure breaks away from the eastern seaboard late in the  week, onshore winds will begin to relax.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Apr 03, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    50 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  53 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  64 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  68 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.      $$
