Light to occasionally moderate east to southeast winds can be expected
through the end of the week. Increasing northeast winds and building
seas are anticipated over the weekend as low pressure moves into the
Central Gulf. This system has some potential to strengthen into a
tropical storm which could bring deteriorating conditions to the area
over the weekend and into the start of next week. The forecast track
of this system remains quite uncertain, and mariners are urged to keep
up with the forecast for this possible Gulf of Mexico tropical cyclone.
