through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between high pressure over
eastern Mexico and a persistent trough in the western Gulf is
allowing for gale-force winds offshore Veracruz. These winds
will diminish to strong speeds late tonight, and the resultant
rough to very rough seas will slowly decay through Sat.
Otherwise, fresh to strong northerly winds over the
south-central and southeastern Gulf will diminish Sat night
while winds veer to east to southeast over the western Gulf
tonight and Sat as high pressure shifts eastward across the
southeastern U.S. Winds are forecast to become fresh to locally
strong ahead of low pressure that will be developing in central
Texas. By the end of the weekend and into early next week, more
tranquil marine conditions are forecast basin-wide as the
pressure gradient weakens. Moderate to fresh southeast to south
winds are expected to develop over the western Gulf starting Tue
night as the high pressure becomes centered over the NE Gulf,
then shifts to east of the basin afterward.
