Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the area will gradually shift eastward through Tue night and extend from the western Atlantic southwestward to the eastern and central Gulf waters by Wed.

The southerly flow will diminish on Thu as a strong cold front moves across eastern Texas. The front will enter the NW Gulf Thu night, reach from near Pensacola Florida to 26N93W and to near Tampico, Mexico by early Fri afternoon and from near Cross City, Florida to near 25N90W and to near Veracruz, Mexico by early Fri night. Gale force northwest to north winds are possible in the W central and SW Gulf on Fri and Fri night. .TODAY...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft. .TONIGHT...E winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft.

Its associated weak cold front extends to 31N75W to 26N77W and to just offshore southeastern Florida. Strong to near gale force southeast to south winds are east of the front, while fresh to strong west to northwest winds are west of the front north of 30N. The front will move across the remainder of the forecast waters through Tue, with the portion north of about 25N exiting the area on Tue night. The strong to near gale force winds east of the front will diminish as they shift east- northeast of the forecast waters late tonight. By Wed, the portion of the front south of 25N will transition to a weakening stationary front across the southeastern waters. High pressure will build across the area in the wake of the front and begin to strengthen some on Fri. The next cold front is expected to move over the far northwest waters on Fri night followed by very strong high pressure. .TODAY...N winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and NW to N 10 to 15 kt N of 27N.
