Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from SE Florida to 22N90W to
the eastern Bay of Campeche. The gale warning near the Veracruz
coast of Mexico has been discontinued. The front will move SE of
the area late today. Southerly return flow will strengthen Fri
night as a low pressure system develops over SE Texas. This low
will track eastward along the U.S. Gulf coast this weekend, with
strong to near gale S to SW winds expected ahead of the cold
front, particularly across the NW and north-central Gulf.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N65W to SE Florida 
will reach from 30N65W across the Bahamas to central Cuba 
tonight. Reinforcing cold air will support fresh N-NW winds 
behind the front through Thu morning. The front will stall and 
weaken Thu night through Sat. A developing low pressure system 
across the southern U.S. will drag a strong cold front off the 
coast of northern Florida on Sun. At that time, gale conditions 
are possible ahead of the front in the southerly flow.
