.SYNOPSIS...

Small craft should exercise caution offshore tonight through

Saturday morning as periods of moderate to strong offshore flow

develop this afternoon through the weekend behind a strong cold

front. Strong easterly flow becomes established early next week

with advisory level conditions expected and a low-end potential

for gusts to gale force. Seas build to greater than 7 feet across

the near and offshore Gulf waters in response to the

strengthening winds early next week.
