Coastal Waters Forecasts...

Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to
the central Gulf will support gentle to moderate winds over the
basin through Thu night. A strong cold front will reach the
coast of Texas Fri morning, and move across the NW Gulf through
Fri afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas
are expected in the wake of the front. It is forecast to reach
from northern Florida to near Tampico, Mexico by Fri night, and
from near Sarasota, Florida to 25N90W and to near Veracruz early
Sat morning, then become stationary from near Fort Myers to near
24N90W to the Bay of Campeche by Sat evening. Northerly winds
behind the front are forecast to reach minimal gale force late
Fri through Sat over the NW and west-central Gulf.

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. A cold front is expected to quickly move
across the Gulf of Mexico and off the E coast Fri night. It will
then  move across the northwestern waters through Sat before
approaching Bermuda and extend to near 31N70W and stationary to
near Port  Canaveral by late Sat night. Strong continental high
pressure in  the wake of the front will tighten the gradient
over the  northwestern waters by late Sat leading to fresh to
strong  northeast winds and building seas. These conditions will
spread  eastward to the north-central waters through Sun as the
western  portion of the front begins to lift some to the north.
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.
