Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Keys to 26N90W
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
19N96W. The low pressure will lift N toward the coast of Texas
through Wed 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. A tight pressure gradient between
the low and strong high pressure over the SE CONUS is supporting
fresh to strong winds N of the low and warm front, and also west
of the stationary front over the western Gulf. Winds are
expected to slightly diminish late today through early Tue.
Then, these winds are forecasted to increase again late Tue or
Wed as the low pressure tracks northeastward toward the NE Gulf
and northern Florida by Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extending from 31N64W to the
Florida Keys will become stationary along 26N tonight. Fresh to 
strong winds and seas to around 10 ft are in the wake of the 
front. The high pressure and front will weaken Tue through early
 Thu allowing for winds to diminish and seas to subside. The 
pressure 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.
