diminish today. Fresh to strong northeast winds and rough seas
will continue to affect the southeastern Gulf through Fri before
diminishing Sat. Frequent gusts to gale force are expected
across the Straits of Florida through early Fri. Conditions
further improve Sun into early next week as high pressure
settles over the region.
