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 in the NW Gulf, 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 3 nm
at times, mainly over the western half of the Gulf.

.TODAY...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Haze.
Chance of showers and isolated tstms.
.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
Scattered showers and chance of tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front from 28N55W to 27N66W to the SE
Bahamas will meander and weaken into a surface trough later
today. A deep-layered upper trough across the W Atlantic and into
the SW Caribbean will shift E-NE across the region through Thu,
and maintain active thunderstorms between 55W and 72W, that will
shift E and NE Tue through Thu. The interaction of the upper
trough and the stationary front/surface trough is expected to lead
to elongated surface low pressure across NE portions later today,
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 Fri night. A weak front may
drop into the NW waters Sat.

and 3 ft N of 27N. Chance of showers and slight chance of tstms.
