Wednesday September 28, 2011
Today's weather, again is, essentially a replay of yesterday's weather. Skies will be mostly sunny, with some mid to high level cloudiness. Winds will be easterly at 10 mph to 15 mph. Seas will be 1 to 3 feet. Winds and seas will continue to moderate through the weekend.
A cold front will move into the NW Gulf of Mexico, Friday and extend from near Tampa Bay to NE Mexico on Saturday. By Sunday, it will reach from S Florida to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico. Strong high pressure will build SE behind the front, across the north-central Gulf.
The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). With the heat index, at times, it may feel like 100 plus degrees. Everyone, especially, divers should be well hydrated.
At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 88F or 28C to 31C . Visibility is generally 40 to 60 feet.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
TD Ophelia is centered at 18.6N by 60.0W; moving NW at 3 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 35 mph. This storm continues to meander westward. It is expected to strengthen later today into a TS. Until it truly moves off to the north, all interests in the Bay Islands should monitor this storm system closely for further development.
TS Phillipe is still located in the far eastern tropical Atlantic and is centered at 16.5N by 38.0W; moving WNW at 12 mph. Maximum sustained winds are 40 mph. This system currently does not pose a threat to us.
Else where, tropical storm formation is not expected for the next 24 hours.
