Excellent advice!
Just been looking around the State this morning, lots of activity out there. People need to be careful and make good choices at more than Hobie Beach.
- Wind from 43 to 52 mph at Tyndall Tower in the Panhandle
- Wind from 30 to 52 mph at Pass-A-Grille south of Tampa
- Wind from 28 to 43 mph at Huguenot near Jacksonville with similar winds at Matanzas south of St. Augustine
Winds are building to the south and east currently with stronger winds likely today. You can see spikes as the squall line moves over followed by even higher winds in some cases. This is a powerful front. Note: wind readings may differ from actual winds but you can assume they are likely STRONG.
These areas are well behind the leading edge squall line which is pretty spectacular on radar, lookout Keys and the Bahamas! This post frontal boundary trend will likely be moving more southerly as the day goes on.
Always look at real time winds upweather to see what might be coming your way and when. This would be a good day to sit out in a number of areas, more useable wind on the way this season.
