Mostly light to gentle breezes are expected through the rest of

the front, winds will abruptly become northwesterly with gale
force winds, with gusts up to 45kts for our offshore marine zones
(20 to 60 NM) on Saturday. A Gale Warning warning is currently in
effect until Sunday morning for all of our marine zones. There
will be strong offshore winds over Apalachee Bay Saturday into

navigational issues. Winds and seas should begin to fall below
