Locally, the swells will build. Coastal flooding could be a concern since we are in the full moon cycle and tides will be running higher than normal. A coastal flood advisory is in affect for the Treasure Coast.
Farther out in the Atlantic, Tropical Depression Gordon continues to slowly move to the west-northwest. It could become a bit stronger by the end of the week. No threat to any land.
