The wider storm

Dry cold front over the area moved eastward into the Atlantic waters while high pressure was over the Gulf of Mexico. This tightened the pressure gradient over the area. Sunny skies helped to mix down stronger winds to the surface. A Wind Advisory was in effect for northeast FL and southeast GA in order to account for stronger non-convective wind gusts ranging from 40-60 mph.
