Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the north central Gulf will shift
eastward to the NE Gulf Wed and weaken in response to a cold
front that will move over the northern gulf waters Thu. The
front will stall from southwest Florida to south Texas Fri,
before lifting back north as a warm front Sat ahead of yet
another cold front that will move across Texas. This front is
expected to move across the NW Gulf, and reach from near the
western Florida panhandle to the SW Gulf Sun night. A warm front
will extend out ahead this front across the eastern gulf.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from just west of Bermuda to
eastern Cuba will slow down as it reaches from near 29N65W to 
26N70W where it will become stationary to eastern Cuba by early 
Wed. The cold front portion will become stationary during Wed,
before the entire front dissipates early on Thu. The frontal
remnants will lift northward through Fri ahead of the next cold 
front. This next cold front will move off the northeast Florida 
coast late Thu, reach from Bermuda to south Florida by late Fri,
before stalling from 25N65W to the Straits of Florida by late 
Sat. The gradient will tighten between the front and high pres 
that builds eastward over the northern portion on Sat night into 
Sun allowing for east winds to increase over much of the western 
section of the area.
