Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered off the Carolinas will begin
to slide eastward into the western Atlantic starting this
evening. A ridge will extend southwestward from the high to the
north-central Gulf through the forecast period. The related 
gradient will maintain moderate to fresh east winds across the basin 
through Wed. Afterward, the high pressure will be weakening allowing 
for winds over the area to diminish to gentle to moderate speeds. 
Pulsing fresh to strong east winds will surge through the Straits of 
Florida and into the southeastern Gulf starting today. Seas across 
the basin will be at a mostly moderate state, except reaching a 
rough state, at times, in the Straits of Florida beginning on Mon. 
Seas subside around midweek.
