OUT TO 60 NM
321 PM EDT MON APR 6 2026
SYNOPSIS
THE WEEK AHEAD WILL BE ROUGH ON THE WATERS. THE ENTIRE WORK WEEK
WILL FEATURE STRONG TO GALE-FORCE NORTHEAST AND EAST WINDS.
STRONG NORTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE NORTHEASTERN
GULF IN RESPONSE TO LOWERING PRESSURE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA TODAY.
STRONG CONTINENTAL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRIDGE SOUTH ACROSS THE
WATERS ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY, SETTING UP NEAR-GALE AND GALE-FORCE
EASTERLIES. LOW PRESSURE OVER SOUTH FLORIDA WILL FINALLY EJECT
EAST ACROSS THE BAHAMAS AND INTO THE ATLANTIC ON FRIDAY, CAUSING
WINDS TO BACK AROUND NORTHEASTERLY AND GRADUALLY WEAKEN BELOW
SMALL CRAFT STRENGTH.
