looks like weather could get interesting for Coastal areas of the Big Bend of Fla. tomorrow .........NWS Tallahassee....MARINE...TONIGHT THROUGH SAT.
A POTENT GULF LOW AND ATTENDING SQUALL LINE WILL TRAVERSE OUR
COASTAL AND OFFSHORE WATERS TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW. HAZARDOUS
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. TONIGHT...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS ALL BUT OUR EASTERNMOST ZONES WITH FREQUENT
GUSTS TO GALE FORCE AS THE PRE FRONTAL SQUALL LINE APPROACHES. SEAS
WILL BUILD TO 5 TO 7 FEET NEARSHORE AND 7 TO 9 FEET OFFSHORE. BY
TOMORROW MORNING...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS WILL OVERSPREAD
OUR ENTIRE MARINE ZONES WITH GUSTS TO GALE FORCE STILL LIKELY. SEAS
FROM 9 TO 11 FEET WILL BE COMMON ACROSS MOST OF OUR MARINE ZONES
WITH SLIGHTLY LOWER SEAS IN APALACHEE BAY. STRONG WINDS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE SQUALL LINE MAKES COASTAL FLOODING A CONCERN FOR AREAS
SOUTHEAST OF APALACHEE BAY ACROSS TAYLOR AND DIXIE COUNTIES. THE
SQUALL LINE IS FORECAST TO ENCOUNTER EASTERN SECTIONS OF APALACHEE
BAY IN THE LATE MORNING HOURS. IF THIS TIMING HOLDS UP...IT WOULD BE
IDEAL AS IT WOULD CORRESPOND TO LOW TIDE. STILL...A STORM SURGE
BETWEEN 1 AND 2 FEET IS EXPECTED ACROSS APALACHEE BAY WITH WESTERN
APALACHEE BAY TO EXPECT NEAR 1 FOOT SURGE...AND EAST PARTS OF THE
BAY SEEING UP TO 2 FEET. FURTHER DOWN THE COAST EXPECT A 2 TO 3 FOOT
SURGE. A COASTAL FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR TAYLOR AND DIXIE
COUNTIES. THESE ARE LOCATIONS WHERE THE 3 FOOT STORM SURGE WILL BE
POSSIBLE. COASTAL LOCATIONS WEST OF APALACHICOLA CAN EXPECT A
MAXIMUM STORM SURGE OF 1 FOOT STARTING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. WEDNESDAY
WILL BE A TRANSITION DAY WHERE WINDS AND SEAS WILL BEGIN TO
SUBSIDE...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY CONDITIONS MAY STILL BE NEEDED
HOWEVER. FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS IN
FROM THE NORTH KEEPING WINDS ELEVATED WITH EXERCISE CAUTION LEVELS
POSSIBLE......NWS Tallahassee.......
