    ... Rough boating conditions expected this Memorial Day weekend...

    Rough boating conditions are expected at times over the Holiday
    weekend across the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Northeast winds
    increase to between 15 and 20 knots over the coastal waters of the
    eastern Gulf of Mexico tonight as strong high pressure builds to
    the north of the Florida Peninsula. Gusty easterly winds will
    continue through the morning hours of Saturday and then briefly
    diminish Saturday afternoon. Easterly winds are then expected to
    quickly increase to advisory levels Saturday evening and remain
    elevated into Sunday morning.

    These conditions will build seas to between 3 and 4 feet away
    from the coast by late tonight... and then to between 4 and 5
    Saturday night.

    Boaters venturing out into the eastern Gulf of Mexico for the
    Memorial Day weekend should prepare for these rough late may
    conditions during the overnight and morning hours the next
    several days.
