Underground weather radar loop covering Florida for Friday.

Looks like a front was churning through firing off thunderstorms. Storms like this can hit winds of 60mph on open water very fast.

Looks like family is confirming the boat (from wpbf):

JUPITER, Fla. —The family of one of the missing teen boaters told WPBF 25 Sunday afternoon that their overturned boat was found off Jacksonville.

The fate of the teens is unknown.

Perry Cohen and Austin Stephanos, both 14, were aboard a 19-foot white single-engine boat.

The U.S. Coast Guard said the boat is being towed to Jacksonville.

The teens were last seen around 1 p.m. Friday after buying $110 worth of fuel at The Jib.

Perry and Austin left shore en route to the Bahamas.

The disappearances were alerted to Tequesta police at about 5 p.m.

Tequesta officers, along with the Palm Beach and Martin County sheriff’s offices, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and the U.S. Coast Guard, searched through the night for the teens.

The U.S. Coast Guard said it had covered 14,447 nautical miles as of Sunday morning.

Pam Telvi Cohen, Perry’s mother, said there is a $100,000 reward for the boys’ safe return.

The families held a news conference Sunday morning thanking the public for their support. They also thanked the Coast Guard.

“The commitment (of the U.S. Coast Guard) has been fantastic,” said Nick Korniloff, Perry’s stepfather.

Football Hall of Famer Joe Namath is a neighbor of the families and joined them at Sunday’s press conference.
