High Wind Watch is now up for southeast Florida. This watch may of course be expanded in time, depending on track, intensity, strength of the High, strength (or lack) of the front/trof, among other variables. In other words, it's too early to tell. Here is highlight of the High Wind Watch up so far, which should help give you some idea _if_ it needs to be expanded farther up the coast - IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING FOR PALM BEACH...BROWARD...AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE IN PLACE ACROSS THE MID ATLANTIC STATES. MEANWHILE...TROPICAL STORM NOEL WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ON A NORTHWEST TRACK. THE LATEST FORECAST ADVISORY FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER TRACKS NOEL ACROSS THE FAR NORTHWEST BAHAMAS. EVEN IF NOEL STAYS ON THIS PROJECTED PATH...THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE TIGHT ACROSS THE AREA. THIS COULD RESULT IN STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS AFFECTING PALM BEACH...BROWARD...AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTIES...ALTHOUGH THESE WINDS MAY NOT DIRECTLY BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE TROPICAL STORM. A HIGH WIND WATCH MEANS THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A HAZARDOUS HIGH WIND EVENT. SUSTAINED WINDS OF AT LEAST 40 MPH...OR GUSTS OF 58 MPH OR STRONGER MAY OCCUR.
