.SYNOPSIS...

...SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION OVER AREA BAYS AND

A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect for the Gulf through the

surface ridge across the southeast states. Seas will continue to

trend higher, and could be as high as 8 to 10 feet well offshore

by early Friday morning. Small craft should exercise caution over

all bays and sounds beginning tonight due to a moderate easterly

flow. Winds will gradually decrease on Monday with seas slowly

subsiding through Tuesday.
