GULF OF MEXICO SITE SPECIFIC SUMMARY
   DATE:    THURSDAY  MAR  11 2010 TIME:    800   CST
                                                                                                                                        
   GULF OF MEXICO SUMMARY:
   Light to moderate south to southwest winds will continue this morning ahead of an
   approaching cold front. This front will push off the Texas coast early this afternoon,
   with moderate northwest winds gradually increasing behind it. Strong northwest winds shift
   to the west tomorrow afternoon then to the west and southwest Saturday as high pressure
   moves into the southern Gulf, behind the front.
   
   EXTENDED OUTLOOK:
   High pressure moving east will allow for light to occasionally moderate south to southeast
   winds Sunday. Winds are then expected to increase and shift to the east and northeast
   Monday and Tuesday in response to a developing low pressure system over the southwest Gulf.
   Models indicate the storm system will push east through the southern Gulf Wednesday, with
   moderate to strong north winds following behind it.
   FORECAST CONFIDENCE: FAIR/MARGINAL FOR EXTENDED
 
   SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK:
   Showers and thunderstorms will gradually diminish over the eastern leases. Winds and seas
   will be higher in and around any of the stronger storms. Fog is expected to linger near the
   coast through this morning over waters west of 88W.
   
 
   TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK:
   Tropical development is not expected.
