Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from just north of the
northwestern coast of Cuba to 23N88W to a weak 1016 mb low at
22N94W and southeast from there to just inland the coast of
Mexico at 19N91W. Strong high pressure is present to the
northwest and north of the front. A tight gradient between the
high pressure and the front is supporting strong to near
gale-force northwest to north winds over the far SW Gulf. These
winds will diminish to strong winds on Tue and to moderate winds
on Wed. Strong northeast to east winds will cover almost the
entire Gulf of Mexico Tue and Tue night and the far eastern Gulf
on Wed as the front begins to move southeastward as a cold
front, exiting the area to over northwestern Cuba early on Wed.
As the weak low pressure tracks along the front through Tue,
winds may possibly approach near gale force over parts of the
southeastern Gulf. New high pressure will then build southward
over the area beginning on Thu and through Fri night.
