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

Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the
southeastern U.S. and a weakening frontal trough over the SE
Gulf supports fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas over the
northern Gulf. These conditions will gradually improve later
today into Sat. Meanwhile, a rather broad upper-level low will
move towards Florida from the western Atlantic today, and into
the NE Gulf on Sat. This feature will lead to increasing shower
and thunderstorm activity over Florida, and then over the
eastern and central Gulf waters. Fairly tranquil marine
conditions are forecast by the end of the weekend into early
next week.

.THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 10 to 15 kt in the afternoon. Seas 3 to
4 ft. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
.TONIGHT...NE to E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft in the evening,
subsiding to 2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.

and isolated tstms.

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening stationary front that extends from near
Bermuda to central Florida will gradually wash out today.
Conditions will improve early on Fri as high pressure becomes
the dominant feature across the basin during the weekend into
early next week. Meanwhile, abundant tropical moisture, combined
with an upper-level low located east of Florida, will continue to

of 70W, through at least Sun.
