out to 60 nm
132 PM EST Mon Dec 29 2025
.SYNOPSIS...
A strong frontal passage today will result in a prolonged period
of advisory level conditions across the outer waters from fresh to
strong northerly breezes. High pressure settling into Lower
Mississippi Valley New Year's Eve results in more favorable
boating as gentle to moderate north to northwest breezes arrive.
The new year ushers in light to gentle westerlies as high
pressure shifts to the northern Gulf.
