NAVTEX Marine Forecast

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

.SYNOPSIS...A line of showers and isolated thunderstorms is
spreading eastward across the NW and north-central Gulf.
Mariners can expect stronger winds and higher seas near the
strong thunderstorms. A 1023 mb high pressure between Bermuda
and the Bahamas support moderate to fresh SE winds over much of
the Gulf, except for strong winds off northern and western
Yucatan. The ridge will weaken over the next couple of days,
resulting in diminishing winds and seas across the basin. Winds
and seas will increase late this week in the western half of the
Gulf, pulsing to strong speeds at night near the Yucatan
Peninsula and south-central Gulf into the weekend.
