out to 60 nm
245 PM EDT Mon Jul 14 2025

.SYNOPSIS...

Light to moderate northwesterly winds today become more northerly to
northeasterly during the day Tuesday as a trough of low pressure
moves into the Gulf. Moderate to fresh winds develop Tuesday night
into Wednesday and lingers over the northeastern Gulf through at
least Thursday. The trough has a low chance, or 30 percent chance,
of tropical development as it moves over the northeastern Gulf,
making the forecast more subject to change. Should development of
this storm occur more quickly, mariners should at least be advised
that marine conditions could begin to degrade on
Wednesday/Thursday.
