out to 60 nm
1058 AM EDT Sat Jun 15 2024

.SYNOPSIS...

Gentle to moderate southeast breezes will develop later today and
continue on Sunday, in response to a low pressure trough moving
from the southeast Gulf to the north-central Gulf Coast. An
unseasonable round of fresh to strong easterly breezes will get
underway on Monday and continue through Wednesday, as pressure
gradients tighten between strong high pressure off the U.S. Mid-
Atlantic coast and a deepening area of tropical low pressure over
the Bay of Campeche.
