Coastal Waters Forecasts...

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are moving off the Texas and NE
Mexico 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
moving across the far NE Gulf will continue to support gentle W
to NW winds over that region this morning. 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.

.TODAY...N to NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TONIGHT...NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging extending from high pressure over
the NW Atlantic is contributing towards moderate or lighter
winds across the region. The moderate winds are due to a weak
cold front emerging from the SE United States coast early this
morning. 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.

to E in the afternoon. N of 27N, SW to W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas
2 ft or less.
