.SYNOPSIS...

Moderate north to northeast winds will set up for the next few
days as Tropical Depression Nine moves through the Bahamas north
to off the Florida east before turning east late Tuesday into
Wednesday. As TD 9 moves away from the east coast, surface high
pressure builds down the Appalachians into the northern Gulf. This
will ratchet up the winds to cautionary levels Wednesday night
into Thursday then solid advisory levels Thursday into the
weekend. There is a low chance for Gale force gusts during this
period along with seas building to near 8 feet offshore.
