Coastal Waters Forecasts...



Southeast Gulf of America



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending from the western Atlantic to

the northern Gulf will change little during the forecast period.

The pressure gradient between it and relatively lower pressures

over Texas and northern Mexico will generally maintain a gentle

to moderate east to southeast wind flow across the basin through

the weekend, with the exception of winds pulsing to fresh to

strong speeds from the late afternoons and into the night time

hours. A series of upper-level disturbances in a very moist and

unstable environment is expected to keep unsettled weather

conditions in the form of scattered to numerous showers and

thunderstorms in the NW Gulf for the next few days. Mariners

transiting through these waters are advised to be prepared for

rapidly changing weather conditions with this activity.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...A large mid to upper-level low and accompanying

surface trough northeast of the Bahamas will continue to produce

scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the waters

between the Bahamas and 70W as well as north of 27N between 72W

76W through at least Thu evening. Some of this activity may

contain strong gusty winds and heavy rain reducing visibility.

Southeast winds will pulse fresh to strong speeds north of

Hispaniola in the afternoons and evenings through Fri.

Otherwise,  high pressure centered just north of the area will

maintain rather quite marine conditions through the period.
