WINDS GUSTING UP TO 30 MPHS OVER FLORIDA

The squeeze play between the Gulf system and the Atlantic High pressure is producing a strong pressure gradient over Florida. Winds are gusting to the 30s mph along both coast. Some areas with thunderstorms will see gust even higher.  High profile vehicles traveling over bridges should use caution.
