Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to
the central Gulf will support gentle to moderate winds over the

coast of Texas Fri morning. The front will reach from near
Apalachicola to near 26N90W and to inland northeastern Mexico
Fri evening, from near Sarasota, Florida to 25N90W and to near
Veracruz early Sat, then become stationary from near Fort Myers
to near 24N90W to the Bay of Campeche by Sat evening. Strong NW
to N winds and building seas are expected behind this front.
Winds could reach  minimal gale force Fri night through Sat
night over the western Gulf. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
are likely to precede the front.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridge extending from Bermuda to 
central Florida will retreat eastward during the next few days
in response to cold fronts that will move off the United States 
eastern seaboard. The first cold front is expected to be rather 
weak as it approaches the far northwest section of the area 
before moving back north as a warm front by late Wed. The second
cold front is expected to quickly move across the northwestern 
waters Fri night through Sat before it approaches Bermuda and 
extend to near 31N72W and stationary to near Port Canaveral by 
late Sat night. Strong high pressure in the wake of the front
will usher in fresh to strong northeast winds accompanied by
building  seas. Otherwise, gentle to moderate winds will
continue over the  remainder of the forecast waters through Sun
night. NE long period swell over the eastern waters will subside
through Thu.
