TS Noel updates

Tropical Storm Noel will not make landfall over Florida; however, south Florida through Thursday will be lashed by strong wind gusts, rain and pounding surf.

The forecast track maintains that Tropical Storm Noel's storm-force winds will remain well offshore the southeast Florida coast, but the combination of Noel with high pressure across the southeast United States will result in a strong pressure gradient that will result in winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts in excess of 40 mph through Wednesday evening before the storm begins to move way from the area.

On a bright note, The high winds and swells from Tropical Storm Noel are combining for some good surfing conditions from Third Street beach to Government Cut.
