Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from South Florida to 27N91W
where it becomes a warm front to a weak 1015 mb low over the NW
Gulf near 26N95W. A stationary front then trails from the low to
to 20N97W. A tight gradient between the fronts and strong high
pressure building over the SE CONUS is allowing for strong NE
winds over the northern half of the basin W of 89W, and fresh N
to NE winds E of 89W. The cold front will continue to move
quickly across the Gulf E of 96W through tonight and become
stationary over the SE Gulf on Mon. The low will slowly move
northeastward through Mon night, then east northeastward across
the N central waters through Thu night and the NE Gulf by Fri,
dragging a new cold front across the SW Gulf. The tight gradient
will gradually slackens allowing for the fresh to strong winds
to slightly diminish Mon through early Tue. These winds are
expected to increase again late Tue or Wed as another low
pressure forms over the NW Gulf and tracks northeastward toward
northern Florida.  

.OVERNIGHT...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. 
.MON...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. 
.MON NIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. 
.TUE...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft in the morning,
subsiding to 2 ft or less. 
.TUE NIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. 
.WED...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. 
.WED NIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. 
.THU...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft. 
.THU NIGHT...SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. 
.FRI...SW to W winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. 
.FRI NIGHT...W winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft.  

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extending from near Bermuda to
south Florida will reach from near 28N65W to the Florida Keys 
Mon morning and become stationary through the middle of next
week. Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected
behind this  front through Mon night as strong high pressure
slides eastward  off the U.S. east coast. The high pressure and
front will weaken  Tue through early Thu allowing for winds to
diminish and seas to  subside. The gradient is forecast to
tighten beginning on Thu east of NE Florida between high
pressure to the N across the eastern  seaboard and low pressure
that tracks northeastward from the Gulf  of the Mexico to across
northern Florida. 

.OVERNIGHT...NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft S of 27N, and
5 to 7 ft N of 27N. 
.MON...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft S of 27N, and
5 to 7 ft N of 27N. 
.MON NIGHT...NE to E winds 15 to 20 kt S of 27N, and E 15 to
20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 4 ft S of 27N, and 5 to 7 ft N of 27N. 
.TUE...E winds 10 to 15 kt. S of 27N, seas 3 ft in the morning,
subsiding to 2 ft or less. N of 27N, seas 4 to 6 ft. 
.TUE NIGHT...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less S of 27N, and
3 to 5 ft N of 27N. 
.WED...N to NE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less S of 27N, and
3 to 5 ft N of 27N.
