and 20 knots early this morning will diminish to 10 to 15 knots
during this afternoon. However... the gusty winds will return this
evening with speeds increasing to around 20 knots with some higher
gusts and small craft advisories will likely be needed. The winds
will diminish once again late Sunday morning and afternoon with an
increase to exercise caution levels expected Sunday evening.

Seas will remain between 2 and 3 feet today then build to 3 to 5
feet away from the coast by late tonight... before subsiding to
2 to 3 feet once again by Sunday afternoon.

Over the Inland Lakes of west central and southwest Florida the
breezy east to northeast winds will occur during the late morning
into the early evening hours today. Winds on the lakes are expected
to be around 15 knots with gusts to near 25 knots at times.
