out to 60 nm
253 PM EDT Wed Jun 12 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Generally light winds are expected through the weekend outside of
maritime convection with dominant wave periods of 6 to 7 seconds.
By Monday, exercise caution easterly flow develops and likely
increases to or near advisory levels later next week as the
pressure gradient tightens across the Gulf. Seas should also build
from southwest to northeast during that time. The persistence of
tropical moisture keeps thunderstorms in the forecast.
