Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail over much of the forecast
waters through Tue. A trough will develop over the Yucatan
peninsula each evening and shift westward across the southwest
Gulf during the overnight hours. A cold front is expected to
move into the NW Gulf by Thu, reach from SE Louisiana to near 
Tuxpan, Mexico by Thu night, from the western Florida panhandle 
to Tampico early on Fri and from N central Florida to the eastern 
Bay of Campeche by late Fri afternoon into early evening. The 
front will be preceded by scattered showers and thunderstorms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening stationary front over the far southeast 
waters will transition to a trough tonight. A cold front just 
northwest of the area will begin to impact the far northern
waters tonight. It will quickly reach from near 31N65W to 27N72W
to 28N78W, become stationary to inland central Florida near Cape 
Canaveral early on Mon, then reach the southeast portion of the 
basin early on Tue from near 23N65W to across the southeastern 
Bahamas. Strong high pressure from the mid-Atlantic region will 
build southward behind the front, with the gradient between it and
the front leading to strong N to E winds over much of the 
forecast waters from Mon through Tue. Beginning Tue night the 
strong NE to E winds will be confined to the far southern waters, 
including the Windward Passage and Straits of Florida, and going 
into Wed as well. These winds are expected to diminish late Wed 
through Thu. The high pres will slowly weaken Wed through Thu. 
Large N to NE swells will impact mainly the waters NE and E of the
Bahamas Tue through early on Thu. The next cold front should 
approach the far northwest corner of the area on Fri.
