Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pres ridging extending from the Atlantic
westward to across the northern gulf will begin to weaken and
slide eastward on Mon night in response to a cold front that
will move across Texas. This cold front will reach the Texas
coast late Tue night, and move across the NW gulf during Wed
morning, reach from N-central Florida to near 25N90W and to near
Veracruz Mexico by Wed evening, then weaken across the southern
gulf waters on Thu and dissipate Thu night. Fresh to strong NE
winds will follow in behind the front becoming mainly moderate
to fresh NE to E winds on Thu and Thu night as high pres ridging
over the northern gulf slides eastward. Return southerly flow of
SE to S moderate to fresh winds develop over the western gulf
from late Thu night through Fri night as the ridging continues
to shift eastward. A thermal trough will develop over the
Yucatan Peninsula during the afternoons, drift west across the
eastern Bay of Campeche during the overnight hours, and
dissipate over the SW gulf by late each morning through Fri
followed by fresh to strong E to SE winds Mon and Tue.

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough along 80W N of 27N will lift
northward tonight and dissipate. A surface trough just southeast
of the area will move across the eastern waters tonight through 
early Mon, and reach the SE Bahamas Mon night before becoming 
diffuse. Another trough will move across the eastern waters Mon 
night through Tue night, and across the SE Bahamas Wed and Wed 
night while weakening. These troughs may be accompanied by 
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. A high pres ridge 
extending from near Bermuda to Cape Canaveral Florida will change 
little through Wed, then retreat eastward allowing for a cold 
front to enter the far northwest waters on Wed evening. The front 
will extend from near 31N72W to 25N71W to NW Cuba Thu afternoon, 
from near Bermuda to east-central Cuba Thu night and weaken over 
the eastern waters on Fri. Strong N to NE winds will follow in 
behind the front, along with building seas to around 10 ft. These

Fri, and diminish to fresh winds over the northeast waters during 
Fri.
