...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available

through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed

Coastal Waters Forecasts...



.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a ridge across the

Gulf region and a stationary front over the central Caribbean

Sea will continue to support fresh to locally strong NE winds

and moderate to rough seas over the SE Gulf, including the

Straits of Florida, through tonight. Moderate to fresh NE winds

are expected nightly, through the forecast period, across the

eastern Bay of Campeche due to local effects associated with a

thermal trough. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds, and slight

to moderate seas will prevail through Tue. Winds may briefly

increase to fresh speeds over the NE Gulf late Tue into early

Wed as the pressure gradient tightens there.
