...Hazardous Marine Conditions Redeveloping Tonight...
...Moderate Risk of Rip Currents for the Palm Beaches...

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for Atlantic coastal waters,
southeast Florida, southern Florida, southwest Florida and Gulf of
Mexico.

.DAY ONE...Tonight.

Marine: Hazardous marine conditions will develop across most of the
local waters tonight as northerly winds increase and range between
20 to 25 kts behind a cold front. Seas will also build over the
Atlantic and Gulf waters and could range between 7 to 10 feet over
the Atlantic and 6 to 9 feet over the Gulf overnight.

Rip Currents: A moderate risk of rip currents will remain in place
for the Palm Beaches.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday.

Hazardous marine conditions will remain in place through Wednesday
for the Gulf waters and into Thursday for the Atlantic waters.

An elevated risk for rip currents will increase through the rest of
the work week along the east coast.

Cold temperatures arrive later this week into the beginning of the
weekend. This may result in the need for cold weather advisories or
frost/freeze warnings for inland southwestern Florida. Changes in
the forecast are still possible so be sure to keep up with the
latest updates.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not expected at this time.
