Moderate to strong onshore flow will continue through at least
this morning across all area waters, and likely push into the
afternoon for some or all Gulf waters. Tonight, onshore flow will
continue but diminish in strength, which will also result in
subsiding seas. Continued haze associated with Saharan Dust may
modestly impact visibility. The lighter winds and calmer seas
will prevail through the second half of the week.
