What the National Weather Service wrote

Three men were thrown overboard after a 14 foot boat capsized three miles off the Saint Croix south shore.

The wider storm

A cold front moved southward across the local waters and generated moderate northerly swells and locally strong northerly winds that affected the Atlantic waters and the Caribbean passages, resulting in rough and hazardous sea conditions.
