.SYNOPSIS...

A weak low pressure center located about 125 miles south of

Pensacola will continue to slowly drift westward away from the

area over the next few days. However, this system will continue

to bring local marine hazards including periods of scattered to

numerous thunderstorms, with squalls producing winds 34 knots or

greater and a heightened risk for waterspouts. Outside of

thunderstorm activity, moderate SE flow will persist st generally

10-15kts, higher for 20- 60nm zones. Waves will respond in the

2 to approaching 3ft range, but winds and wave/seas relax more

going into next week as the surface low drifts farther away from

the local area.
