Winds will remain in the 20 to 30 knot range over much of the waters today, in response to a broad area of low pressure in the Bay of Campeche. These winds are expected to persist through the middle of the week. Some gusts to near gale-force will be possible, primarily west of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Seas will also build in response to the strengthening winds with seas of up to 12 feet expected in the offshore waters today and Wednesday. A gradual decrease in wind speeds and seas is expected on Thursday and Friday as the low in the Bay of Campeche moves into Mexico and weakens. $$ GMZ530-182230- Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas- 421 AM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 ...SMALL CRAFT EXERCISE CAUTION IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM CDT THIS MORNING... ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING... .TODAY...East winds 15 to 20 knots.
