Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the southeastern United States
will shift eastward into the Atlantic through Sat, allowing for
primarily moderate to fresh winds, except for fresh to strong SE
winds in the western Gulf through Fri. The western extension of 
the high pressure will extend westward to the eastern Gulf 
through Mon. Fresh to strong winds will also pulse off NW 
Yucatan during the evening through the next few days. A weak cold
front is forecast to enter the NW Gulf waters by early Sat and 
move southeastward before dissipating Sat night. Moderate to 
locally fresh return flow will then dominate the basin through 
Mon. Another cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf on Mon 
and stall. The front will then begin to move southeastward 
starting late Mon night in response to high pressure that will 
build southward behind it. It should reach from northern florida 
to the central Gulf and to inland NE Mexico by late Tue. Moderate
to fresh NE to E winds will follow in behind the front.
