Miami Florida for 05-04-2024

Alrighty, folks! Time to dive into the wonderful world of weather along the beautiful Florida coast! So, let's break it down in a way that even a parrot can understand.

For all you seafarers out there cruising along the Atlantic waters from Jupiter Inlet to Ocean Reef or the Gulf waters from East Cape Sable to Chokoloskee, here's the scoop:

We've got some gentle to moderate easterly winds doing their thing along the Atlantic waters, while the Gulf waters are getting a taste of that southwesterly breeze in the afternoons. Keep an eye out for those isolated showers and thunderstorms popping up now and then. Just a heads up, the easterly winds might give your sails a workout, so be on the lookout for that! No major hazards on the Gulf Stream, so that's a plus!

And for you small craft enthusiasts out there near Jupiter Inlet to Deerfield Beach or from Chokoloskee to Bonita Beach, be cautious today with those easterly to southeast winds ranging from 15 to 20 knots. Seas running around 2 to 4 feet sporadically. Intracoastal waters might get a bit choppy, so brace yourselves!

For Lake Okeechobee, it's looking like a smooth ride with some breezy easterly to southeast winds at 5 to 15 knots. A slight chance of showers and thunderstorms floating around in the afternoon. Just a heads up if you're planning a fishing trip!
