Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front extends from east-central Florida
to Tampa and to the eastern Gulf near 28N89W, where it becomes
stationary to a weak 1021 mb low just inland extreme southern
Texas. The cold front portion is forecast to move slightly south
tonight and become stationary, maybe drift a little southward
through Wed night. Fresh southeasterly flow will develop over
the entire basin Tue and Wed, then increase to fresh to strong
speeds Wed night and Thu in advance of a cold front that will
move off the Texas coast Thu morning. Seas are expected to build
mainly north of 23N and subside Fri. Seas may reach around 10 ft
in the NW Gulf on Thu before they subside. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms, some possibly strong, are expected ahead of the
front. This front is forecast to become stationary from southern
Louisiana to northeastern Mexico Thu night and Fri, where it
will linger into next weekend.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 25N65W to 
23N71W, where it becomes a warm front to near 23N78W. The warm 
front will lift northward through Tue night while weakening. The
stationary portion will also weaken through Tue night. Easterly 
winds will increase across the entire region Wed and Thu as strong
high pressure builds over the western Atlantic. Seas will build 
with these winds over most sections of the area. Winds will 
diminish and seas will subside north of 22N Fri through Sat night 
as the gradient associated with the high weakens in response to a 
cold front that approaches from the northwest.
