Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A very vigorous cold front, for this time of year,
extends from the panhandle of Florida south-southwest to the Bay
of Campeche. Numerous showers and thunderstorms, some severe,
are associated with the front north of 23N. The pressure
gradient between the front and the Bermuda High is causing SW
winds up to gale force today. Additionally, the strong pressure
gradient behind the front is anticipated to produce NW winds up
to gale force this afternoon and tonight. The cold front will
exit the Gulf tonight and winds will quickly subside on Sat.
Weak high pressure will subsequently build in over the Gulf
promoting quiescent conditions Sun through Tue.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A large pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and a strong cold front, for this time of year, over the eastern 
Gulf of Mexico is causing S winds up to gale force north of the NW
Bahamas today. The front will reach the Atlantic waters tonight 
and S winds up to gale force will push farther east on Sat before 
diminishing below gale on Sun. Forcing behind front should produce
substantially weaker W winds. The cold front should extend from 
31N74W to the central Bahamas Sat afternoon, from 31N71W to the SE
Bahamas Sun afternoon, and becoming stationary near the same 
location Mon afternoon, and finally dissipating on Tue. Numerous 
showers and scattered strong thunderstorms will accompany the 
front. There is potential for severe thunderstorms associated with
the front north of 27N tonight and Sat.
