...THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE OVER THE COASTAL WATERS THROUGH
FRIDAY...

A moist and unstable air mass, associated with the remnants of
Tropical Storm Mario, will bring the threat of showers and
thunderstorms to all of the coastal waters through Friday. The
period of most concern will likely be today through Thursday. Any
thunderstorms that form will be capable of producing gusty and
erratic winds, locally rough seas, dangerous cloud-to-ocean
lightning, brief heavy rainfall, and a waterspout.

With thunderstorms possible, consider adjusting your mid-week
plans now, and continue to monitor the forecast for this evolving
weather scenario.
