Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...In the wake of the recent cold front, high pres will
continue to build over the area through early Mon, then begin to
slide eastward on Tue in response to the next cold front that
will move across eastern Texas. This front is expected to move
over the NW Gulf Tue afternoon or early evening. The front will
reach from the NE Gulf to near 26N90W and to the SW Gulf early
Wed and to SE of the area Wed night. This front will be followed
by strong northerly winds, except for strong to near gale force
in the far western and SW gulf waters on Wed. Strong E to SE
winds develop over the western gulf waters beginning late
Wednesday night and through Thu night as low pres forms from a
coast trough near the southern Texas coast. The low is forecast
to track NNE along or offshore the Texas coast during Thu and
Thu night, with the associated warm front lifting northward
across the NW Gulf.

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pres centered over the central Atlantic 
will shift eastward through Mon in response to a cold front that
extends from 31N75W to the central Bahamas and to W central 
Cuba early this afternoon. The cold front will reach from near 
31N75W to the central Bahamas and to central Cuba this evening, 
then become stationary from 31N73W to the central Bahamas and to
eastern Cuba on Sun. A post-frontal trough will quickly swing 
across the NW waters and help to move the cold front a little 
farther to SE from near 31N65W to the Windward Passage by Mon 
evening before it weakens thereafter through Wed. A strong cold 
front will move off the SE United States coast on Wed, reach from 
near 31N74W to near 26N75W and to E central Cuba Wed night and 
from near 25N65W to vicinity SE Bahamas by late Thu. Strong NW 
winds will follow in behind this front. By late Thu these winds 
are expected to be mainly over the eastern half of the area.
