High pressure to our east and low pressure to our west creating a tightened pressure gradient will lead to fresh breezes to continue over our marine zones through the weekend. The muggy air mass will support patches of sea fog. Cautionary level conditions will likely prevail over our western marine zones for the next few days. A strong cold front will approach late in the weekend and for the start of the work week which will then lessen the winds and seas will gradually subside. $$ GMZ735-032115- St. Andrews Bay Waterways- 310 AM CDT Thu Apr 3 2025 ...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 9 AM CDT THIS MORNING THROUGH 6 PM CDT THIS EVENING... .TODAY...Southeast winds 10 to 15 knots, increasing to 20 knots with gusts up to 30 knots this afternoon.
