through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are moving off the Texas and
Louisiana coasts. These storms are producing frequent lightning,
gusty winds and locally rough seas. Outside of those storms,
weak surface ridging will continue to dominate across the Gulf
through Sun. As a result, winds will pulse moderate to fresh
during the evenings through the weekend. A weak cold front will
move across the far NE Gulf tonight, followed by gentle W to NW
winds. Otherwise, fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near
the N and W portions of the Yucatan peninsula during the late
afternoons and at night for the next two days. Haze west of 89W
due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico will
continue for at least the next couple of days, impacting
visibility at times.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging extending from high pressure over
the NW Atlantic is contributing toward moderate or lighter winds
across the region. The moderate winds are due to a weak cold
front forecast to emerge from the SE United States coast tonight.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will accompany the front. The
front will move eastward toward the Greater Antilles later this
week and into the weekend, bringing moderate to fresh winds.
Otherwise, winds and seas away from the thunderstorms should
remain quiescent for the next few days across the forecast waters.
