Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the eastern
United States will support strong winds over the northern and
eastern Gulf of Mexico today, with easterly gales offshore
Florida through this afternoon. Low pressure will form in the SW
Gulf tonight, then move NE Sat and inland across the Florida Big
Bend Sat night. This will produce additional gales in the NE
Gulf beginning tonight. Thunderstorms in association with this
low will provide additional marine hazards Sat. A cold front
will trail from the low, exiting the Gulf by Sun morning. Strong
north winds will spill into the western Gulf Sat and Sat night
behind the front. High pressure will then settle in over the
area through early next week allowing for marine conditions to
improve. Expect widespread showers and thunderstorms over most
of the central and eastern Gulf through early Sun.
