Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extending from just N of Tampa to 27N88W 
and to 24N95W will weaken and dissipate through Saturday as it 
slowly moves southeastward. A trough extending from 24N93W to 
inland the NW Yucatan Peninsula will drift westward, and move 
inland along the Tamaulipas and Veracruz coast of Mexico by 
early Sunday. High pressure will then build southward across the 
eastern and central waters through Sunday night, then begin to 
shift eastward on Monday as a strong cold front moves across the 
central United States. This cold front is expected to reach the 
Texas coast early Tuesday afternoon, then reach from near Mobile 
Bay to the SW gulf late Tuesday night, from the NE gulf to the 
eastern Bay of Campeche early Wednesday afternoon and from near 
Tampa to the NW Yucatan Peninsula Wednesday night. Strong 
northerly winds and rapidly building seas will follow in the 
wake of the front, with winds possibly reaching gale force over 
portions of the far W central and SW gulf waters.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1009 mb is centered near 26N65W,
with a trough extending southwestward to the N central coast of
Hispaniola. The low will quickly move NE to near 31N48W by
Saturday night. The associated trough will become a cold front 
and move to beyond the far SE waters by Saturday afternoon. High
pres will generally maintain moderate NE winds over the area 
through Mon. A tighter pressure gradient will bring and increase 
of easterly winds over much of the central and southern waters 
late Monday through Tuesday night, then diminish Wednesday as the 
high pres shifts eastward in response to a strong cold front that 
approaches the far NW waters. This front will enter the far NW 
waters by Wednesday night.
