A cold front will bring strong winds Wednesday into early Thursday. A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from noon Wednesday through early Thursday morning for the Gulf waters and the Bays. We are looking at northerly winds of 15-25 knots with gusts reaching 30 knots, along with seas building up to 7 feet. These conditions will be hazardous for smaller vessels, so if you're an inexperienced mariner, you'll definitely want to think about staying in port until things calm down later this evening.
