Several rounds of showers and  thunderstorms are possible during the upcoming weekend ahead of  this frontal boundary.      .GULF STREAM...    The approximate location of the west wall of the Gulf Stream as of  Aug 30, 2026 at 0000 UTC...    46 nautical miles east of Flagler Beach.  53 nautical miles east of Saint Augustine Beach.  64 nautical miles east southeast of Jacksonville Beach.  80 nautical miles east southeast of St Simons Island.    This data derived from NCEP Global RTOFS model.    $$
