Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A 1004 mb low pressure currently near 27N85.5W will
continue to strengthen as it moves NE tonight and into Florida
near the Big Bend overnight. This will produce additional gales
in the NE Gulf tonight, to the N and then to the NW of the low.
Thunderstorms in association with this low will provide locally
higher winds and seas into Sun morning over the eastern Gulf of
Mexico. A cold front will trail from the low, moving SE of the
Gulf and into the NW Caribbean Sun morning. Strong north winds
will continue behind this front in the northern and western Gulf
into Sun. High pressure will then settle in over the area
through early next week allowing for marine conditions to
gradually improve.
