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

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient associated to strong high
pressure N of Bermuda will continue to support moderate to fresh
winds and moderate seas across most of the Gulf region through
the upcoming weekend. Fresh to strong E winds are expected in
the southeastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, through
Fri night, then mostly in the Straits of Florida through the
upcoming weekend.

.TONIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft in E swell.
Isolated showers.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A very tight pressure gradient associated to high
pressure centered N of Bermuda controls the wind regime
throughout. This pattern will continue to support strong winds
and rough to very rough seas over the Western Atlantic through
the next few days. Peak seas of 13 to 16 ft are expected E of
the Bahamas through Sun, perhaps subsiding some early next week.
Active weather that is over the waters S of about 25N and E of
the Bahamas is likely to be further enhanced if a trough near
Puerto Rico slowly develops going into the weekend as it moves
west northwestward near the Greater Antilles. The present
ongoing strong to near gale force E winds over these same waters
may reach gale force Fri night and into the upcoming weekend due
to a tightening of the pressure gradient between the trough, or
the developed system and the high pressure to the N. Marine
interests over these waters should take the necessary action to
avoid hazardous marine conditions. Please monitor the latest
forecasts and Tropical Weather Outlooks.
