October 13, 2011
Again,
today, it will be mostly sunny with some mid to high level
cloudiness. Seas will be calm at 1 to 2 feet in height. Winds, will
be light, variable in direction and mostly easterly at 5 to 10 mph or
less. There is a chance for intermittent, scattered rain due to a
broad area of low pressure which includes the remnants of East
Pacific TD12E. It extends from southeastern Mexico, eastward into the
Northwestern Caribbean Sea and is producing a very large area of
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.

Expect
winds and seas to remain the same through early Friday. Even though
winds are light, they have resumed their normal diurnal wind shift,
from ESE in the morning to ENE in the afternoon.
A
weak cold front is still forecast to move off the Texas coast on
today and by Friday lie on a line from Tampa Bay, FL to the Bay of
Campeche, Mexico.
The
air temperatures will be in the mid to the high 80s (F) or 27 to 30

Everyone,
especially divers, should stay well hydrated.
