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

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The Atlantic ridge extends W-SW into the eastern
Gulf, and will dominate the basin through the next several days.
This pattern will support generally moderate to fresh SE winds
in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern
Gulf. By  Thu, the ridge will weaken, allowing for winds to
diminish somewhat. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires
over Central America and Mexico will continue for the next
couple of days, reducing visibility to around 4 nm at times,
mainly over the western half of the Gulf.

.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft. Haze. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.TUE...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft. Scattered showers and
isolated tstms.
.TUE NIGHT...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.WED...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front from 26N55W extends westward
along 26N to the northern Bahamas, and will meander and weaken
into a surface trough tonight. A deep-layered upper trough
across the W Atlantic and into the SW Caribbean will shift E-NE
across the region through Thu. The interaction of the upper
trough and the stationary front is expected to lead to elongated
surface low pressure across NE portions on Tue, and shift NE and
out of the area on Wed. Fresh to strong SW winds are forecast
ahead of this trough/low as it move across these waters. Weak high
pressure will begin to build across the basin Wed then shift
slowly E-NE Thu through Sat.

.TONIGHT...E winds 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Chance of tstms.
.TUE...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft. Chance of tstms.
.TUE NIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Chance of
tstms.
