.SYNOPSIS...
A strong low pressure system will move across the southeast states
today with an associated cold front and pre-frontal squall line
expected late this afternoon and evening. Strengthening south
winds and building seas today will support Small Craft Advisory
across all waters with potential for gale force gusts. The cold
front associated with the low will send the squall line of showers
and thunderstorms through the waters late afternoon and evening.
A few strong to severe storms are possible with this line of
storms. High pressure ridging will then build back down the
southeast coast on Monday before weakening and shifting east of
the Florida Peninsula once again mid week.
