Coastal Waters Forecasts...

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The west 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 E to SE winds in the western Gulf, and near the Yucatan
Peninsula to occasionally strong, and gentle to moderate winds
in the eastern Gulf. By the end of the week, 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 3 nm at times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf.

.THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Haze.
Scattered showers and isolated tstms.

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 by tonight. A deep-layered upper trough
across the W Atlantic and into the NW Caribbean will shift
eastward across the area through Thu, and maintain active
thunderstorms E of 72W today that will shift E and NE through
Thu. The interaction of the upper trough and the stationary
front is  expected to create elongated 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 build across
the basin Thu  through Fri night.
