.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh northeast to east winds and
elevated wave heights will transition over the weekend to more
favorable wind and sea conditions next week. The weather will
remain unsettled with isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms developing from time to time. A disturbance in the
Southwest Gulf of Mexico has a chance of developing into a
tropical system over the next few days. Due to uncertainty, the
current forecast does not yet incorporate less favorable winds and
waves that would accompany a tropical system potentially
developing this weekend into early next week.
