 Synopsis for the coastal waters from Bonita Beach to Suwannee River-

 .SYNOPSIS...
 South and southeast winds will continue tonight and Sunday ahead
 of an approaching cold front. Under these south winds, there is a
 small chance that some sea fog could develop early Sunday morning
 around the Tampa Bay, but confidence is not high enough to include
 fog in the forecast at this time. A line of thunderstorms will
 develop ahead of the front and move southeast through the waters
 Sunday afternoon and early evening, with gusty winds and isolated
 waterspouts possible with the strongest storms. Winds and seas will
 then increase to Small Craft Advisory levels behind the front Sunday
 night and Monday as winds turn to northwesterly and then
 northeasterly by Monday night. Winds and seas will subside slightly
 late Monday, but will remain near Small Craft Advisory levels
 through the rest of the week.
