Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front extending from northeast Florida
southwestward to 29N83W to 25N90W and westward to just inland
Mexico at 24N98W will move east of the gulf tonight. High
pressure building over the Gulf in the wake of the front will
support gentle to moderate north to northeast winds through Tue
night. Winds over the basin will become northeast to east Wed
through early Thu, except for southeast to south winds over the
far western gulf in return flow as high pressure in the wake of
the front shifts to the northeast gulf. On Fri, the high will
have moved into the western Atlantic, with a ridge extending
westward across the northern gulf waters. This will allow for
mainly moderate east to southeast winds to exist over the basin.
A weak thermal trough will move off the Yucatan Peninsula and
over the eastern Bay of Campeche during the mornings and
dissipate in the early afternoons beginning Wed.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...The surface trough that moved across the basin the
past few days has moved to the eastern Gulf of Mexico as central
Atlantic high pressure continues to build westward across most of
the area. A weak cold front over the far northwest waters will 
slowly move southeastward reaching from near 31N78W to the Straits
of Florida early Mon, from near 31N77W to western Cuba by early 
Mon afternoon, then from near 31N74W to the central Bahamas and 
stationary to west-central Cuba early Tue. The cold front portion 
will then become stationary later on Tue. Fresh to strong 
southerly winds will precede the front north of about 27N through 
late Mon afternoon. The front will weaken through Thu night and 
dissipate Fri, with its remnants lifting northwest to near 29N on 
Fri as a high pressure center moves off the southeastern United 
States coast to near 31N75W Thu night and to near 31N70W Fri with 
a ridge extending to near 30N80W.
