...SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS CANCELLED...

Latest buoy and ASCAT observations show winds and seas have 
fallen below Small Craft Advisory criteria across the offshore 
waters. Therefore, the Small Craft Advisory has been allowed to
expire. Operators of small craft will need to continue to 
exercise caution on all of the Gulf waters through this afternoon.
Additional Small Craft Advisories will likely be needed tonight, 
behind an approaching cold front.
