...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extends from high pressure over the western
Atlantic across the Gulf coast states. The pressure gradient
between this area of high pressure and low pressure over Mexico
and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is supporting fresh to
strong SE winds over much of the Gulf of Mexico, with seas up to
12 ft. The area of high pressure will weaken over the next few
days, loosening the pressure gradient which will diminish winds
and decrease seas across the basin. Elsewhere, winds will pulse
to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula and south-
central Gulf each evening through the forecast period.
