UF units with operations along the coast in the watch area (Flagler/Volusia County line south to Jupiter Inlet) should follow guidance from local officials.

At the 11am Advisory, the system was located approximately 280 miles east-south east of Freeport in the Bahamas. Max sustained winds are near 30 mph.
