.SYNOPSIS...
Conditions show that there currently are 20kt winds in our
western- most zones this afternoon. As a result, a Small Craft
Advisory is in effect through this evening for 20 kt winds with
gusts around 25 kts.
Easterly winds that are at Cautionary (near-Advisory) level for
our waters west of Apalachicola this afternoon will shift
southerly by tomorrow morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
are likely and will continue through the weekend. Our western
waters will see seas of 3-4 feet, while being around 2 feet to the
east. Northeasterly winds return on Saturday and will clock
around again to return to northerly winds on Monday as a cold
front makes its way through the region. Cautionary to Advisory-
level winds are expected during the day Monday as
showers/thunderstorms are cleared out by the front. Seas are
expected to increase (3-5 feet) behind the front Monday. More
tranquil boating conditions return by the middle of next week.
