...MARINE WEATHER STATEMENT...

Multiple low pressure centers will track northward along a front
stationed over the Eastern Gulf through Thursday. The initial two 
lows generated wind gusts of around 50 knots measured at gulf 
buoys higher values up Clarence Strait. Seas at the gulf buoys 
have also increased to 25-30 feet with a southerly swell of 
around 20 feet as of Tuesday afternoon. 

As the current low over the NE gulf tracks inland, expect a wind 
shift from south to southwesterly Tuesday evening and overnight,
then winds and seas will decrease slightly going into Wednesday. 
However, the next in the series of lows tracks northward late 
Wednesday night through Thursday morning. This will again cause 
winds to reach storm force levels over the gulf and for seas to 
rise to 30 feet.

Wind driven waves will cause tides to be elevated above predicted
tide tables, namely along the outer coast and near ocean 
entrances. Property below the high tide line may be at risk 
during peak noon tides over the coming days.
