The high will remain over the waters through midweek with generally north to northeast winds each day below cautionary levels, except across the southern waters Tuesday night and Wednesday night. During the second half of the week winds will shift to a more easterly direction with some moisture returning leading to isolated to scattered showers and a few thunderstorms.

Gulf coastal waters from Bonita Beach to the mouth of the Suwannee River out to 60 NM. Important notice to mariners.marine forecasts are issued at least four times a day. Boaters on extended trips should routinely monitor subsequent forecast issuances and updates for the latest marine weather information.
