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

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail across the Gulf waters
through the middle of the week. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will persist over the western Gulf through Mon before
diminishing briefly. A weak cold front will move off the coast
of Texas Mon night into Tue, extend along the northern Gulf
through Wed, then lift N ahead of another cold front forecast to
enter the Gulf waters late on Thu. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will once again develop over the western Gulf on Wed ahead
of the second front, which will reach from N Florida to near
Tampico, Mexico Fri morning, and from the Straits of Florida to
near Veracruz, Mexico Fri night. The front will exit the basin
on Sat. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will
follow this front. Winds may briefly reach minimal gale force
near the Veracruz area on Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N47W to just N of
Haiti will merge with a reinforcing cold front that stretches
from 31N51W to 27N75W. The merged front will move across the SE
waters through Mon when it is forecast to stall along 22N/23N.
Fresh to strong W to NW winds and rough to very rough seas will
follow the front N of 29N. These marine conditions will gradually
shift eastward on Mon. A trough or low pressure will develop near
the Turks and Caicos Islands early on Tue. The pressure gradient
between the trough and high pressure to the W will support fresh
to strong winds and moderate to rough seas across the waters S of
25N and W of the trough axis to the coast of eastern Cuba,
including the SE Bahamas. Then, the trough/low will stall in the
SE Bahamas offshore waters trough Wed, with winds and seas
diminishing. The next cold front will enter the NE Florida
offshore waters Tue night before stalling and lifting N of the
area late Wed. A stronger cold front is forecast to move to the NE
Florida offshore waters Thu night into Fri. Fresh to strong winds
and building seas are expected on either side of the front.
