Cold Front Brings Small Craft Advisory to Florida Waters
A cold front is moving across the coastal waters of Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia today, bringing elevated winds and seas. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Small Craft Advisory for offshore waters, with northwest winds of 15 to 20 knots and seas ranging from 3 to 5 feet, occasionally reaching 6 feet. Conditions are expected to improve later tonight as winds shift to the north and decrease to 5 to 10 knots. High pressure will build west of the region following the frontal passage, leading to calmer conditions through midweek. Mariners should remain cautious as the advisory remains in effect through this afternoon. Source time: not specified.
