204 PM EDT Sun Mar 9 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

An area of low pressure will move along the Gulf Coast before
exiting to our east Monday. Showers and thunderstorms, and areas
of dense marine fog, will continue through tonight. Some strong
storms with gusty winds, hail, and waterspouts are possible.
Meanwhile, Southerly winds will increase ahead of the low later

and winds will become more westerly and increase to advisory level
with a few gusts near gale force possible, particularly west of
Apalachicola. Seas will also build to 6 to 10 feet in response to
the increasing winds. Northwesterly winds subside Monday night
into Tuesday before becoming southerly Wednesday.
