.SYNOPSIS...

East to northeast winds will continue today with cautionary
conditions expected. For tonight, winds may increase enough for a
small craft advisory. Tropical Storm Milton is forecast to head east-
northeast to northeast through the middle of the week towards the
Florida peninsula and strengthen into a hurricane. Winds and seas
are forecast to increase even more by mid-week as Milton`s
expanding wind field affects the area. Scattered showers and
storms will be possible each day until a cold front clears the
area by mid to late week.
