Marine Zone Forecast
Synopsis: Aside from showers and storms bringing locally higher winds and
seas through the rest of the afternoon/evening, boating conditions
will improve through the rest of the weekend. The main concern
for mariners will lie with a tropical disturbance currently in the
western Caribbean. This feature, regardless of development, will
enter the southern Gulf of Mexico by Tuesday and slowly move
northwest. A turn to the northeast is expected sometime mid week.
While there is still considerable uncertainty in it's eventual
path, winds and seas appear likely to rise to at least advisory
levels by next week. Boaters should continue to monitor the latest
Hurricane Center forecasts.
