...STORM INFORMATION...
AT 2 PM EDT...TROPICAL STORM NOEL WAS LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 25.0
NORTH...LONGITUDE 77.4 WEST. THIS IS ABOUT 185 MILES EAST-SOUTHEAST
OF MIAMI. NOEL IS MOVING NORTH NORTHEAST NEAR 14 MPH AND THIS MOTION
IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH TONIGHT WITH A FURTHER INCREASE IN
FORWARD SPEED AS IT MOVES THROUGH THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS AND
INCREASES ITS DISTANCE FROM SOUTHEAST FLORIDA.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 65 MPH WITH
HIGHER GUSTS. SOME ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE LATER TODAY.

...PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
THE CENTER OF NOEL HAS MOVED FAR ENOUGH EAST TO KEEP THE TROPICAL
STORM FORCE WINDS WELL OFFSHORE. AS A RESULT...THE TROPICAL STORM
WARNING HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR SOUTHEAST FLORIDA.

WINDY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA AND THE
ADJACENT ATLANTIC AND BISCAYNE BAY WATERS DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE
AFTERNOON. MARINERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO REMAIN IN PORT UNTIL WINDS AND
SEAS FURTHER SUBSIDE TONIGHT. MOTORISTS ARE ALSO URGED TO USE
CAUTION THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT AS THE GUSTY WINDS WILL MAKE
DRIVING HAZARDOUS...PARTICULARLY OVER BRIDGES AND CAUSEWAYS. HIGH
PROFILE VEHICLES LIKE TRUCKS AND VANS MAY BE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL IN
HIGH WINDS.

...STORM SURGE AND STORM TIDE...
STORM TIDE LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ABOUT 1 TO 2 FEET ABOVE

BEACH COUNTY. SEVERE EROSION WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE PALM BEACH
COUNTY BEACHES...PARTICULARLY FROM LANTANA NORTH TO JUPITER WHERE
EXTREME BEACH EROSION HAS ALREADY OCCURRED. COASTAL FLOODING IS ALSO
EXPECTED ALONG THE NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY COAST...ESPECIALLY
DURING THE TIMES OF HIGH TIDE WHICH WILL OCCUR BY 330 PM. THE IMPACT
ON THE NORTHERN PALM BEACH COUNTY COAST WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH
DUE TO THE EXPOSED NATURE OF THE COASTLINE TO INCOMING NORTHEAST
SWELLS. THEREFORE...THE COASTAL FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES IN EFFECT FOR
THE PALM BEACH COUNTY COAST UNTIL 6 PM THIS EVENING.

ALONG THE BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COASTS...SOME SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT IN BEACH EROSION CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR AS WINDS ARE
BLOWING AT A SHARPER ANGLE TO THE COAST COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS TWO
DAYS. NEVERTHELESS...MINOR TO MODERATE BEACH EROSION WILL CONTINUE
ESPECIALLY DURING TIMES OF HIGH TIDE BEFORE 330 PM THIS AFTERNOON.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE FURTHER TONIGHT AND THURSDAY AS WINDS
