In their forecast discussion, the BWS said, “Moderate east-southeasterly winds Tuesday morning will gradually increase moderate to strong in the evening as Hurricane Florence – by then expected to be a category 4 storm, passes it’s closest point of approach 300nm to our south.
“Moderate to rough seas will gradually rise to very rough in the south and east with building southeasterly swells from Hurricane Florence. Swells will remain very rough to the south and east for Wednesday while gradually shifting southerly as Florence moves away to our southwest.”
