Imelda is now moving more to the northeast as it tracks east of the state at 7 mph.

Hazardous marine conditions will persist across the local Atlantic waters as the system departs northwards, with sustained winds 20-30 mph and gusting to 35 mph along Florida's east coast.

Seas are expected to range between 7-10 feet today and 6-9 feet on Wednesday.
