Hey there, boaters and beach lovers in sunny Florida! It's your friendly weather forecaster here with all the details you need to know before you head out on the water.

So, brace yourselves for a wild ride this weekend as we're looking at hazardous wind conditions and rough seas thanks to an area of low pressure and a couple of cold fronts sweeping through. While the Gulf waters might see some improvement later on, the Atlantic is in for a bumpy ride into the upcoming week.

For our Gulf Stream friends, be prepared for seas of 6 to 9 feet with possible gale force wind gusts – not exactly smooth sailing, if you ask me!

In the near shore and farther out waters, expect GALE WARNINGS in effect through this evening, shifting to SMALL CRAFT ADVISORIES from this evening through Monday morning.

Today, we're looking at strong WSW winds ranging from 20 to 25 knots, gusting up to 30 knots, bringing in some showers and possible thunderstorms. Seas are between 3 to 8 feet, with choppy waters ahead.

For tomorrow, plan for N winds at 20 to 25 knots, keeping the seas choppy with chances of showers lingering around.

Now, for the Lake Okeechobee fans, there's a SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY until 8 AM this morning due to those gusty W winds. Throughout the day, winds will turn NW with breezy conditions continuing until early next week.
