.SYNOPSIS...

Strong northerly winds will persist tonight behind a cold front

passing through the area. This strong offshore flow will then

temporarily decrease and turn easterly by Tuesday afternoon

before increasing once again late Tuesday night. Moderate to

strong easterly winds will persist through Friday, and we expect

another round of small craft advisory-level conditions with the

potential of gusts nearing gale force during this time.



Small Craft Should Exercise Caution on the Pensacola Bay System,

Perdido Bay, and Choctawhatchee Bay tonight into Monday morning.
