Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough will move into the eastern Gulf
tonight into Thu morning, bringing fresh NE to E winds.
Otherwise, high pressure pressure will dominate the basin
through Fri, producing mainly gentle to moderate E to SE winds.
Fresh winds will pulse west of the Yucatan Peninsula tonight and
again Thu night. A broad area of low pressure is expected to
form over the western Caribbean Sea during the next day or so
from a tropical wave currently located north of Colombia.
Environmental conditions are forecast to be conducive for
development, and a tropical depression or tropical storm is
likely to form late this week or over the weekend. The system is
expected to move northwestward over the northwestern Caribbean
Sea and near or across the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico on Friday
and into the Gulf of Mexico this weekend, where conditions are
expected to be favorable for additional development. Mariners
should closely monitor the progress of this system. It has
potential for significant strengthening in the Gulf of Mexico.
Expect a large increase in winds and seas this weekend in
association with this system.
