Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the southern tip of
Florida northwestward to Galveston, Texas. The front will weaken
through Sat. High pressure building behind the front will
support strong easterly winds and building seas over the NE Gulf
tonight through Sat. A cold front will move into the NW Gulf Sat
evening, extend from the Florida Big Bend to Veracruz, Mexico on
Sun, then move to southeast of the area by Mon evening. This
front will be followed by strong northerly winds over most of
the Gulf, with near gale force winds possible in the fat SW Gulf
Sun night through Mon night. High pressure behind this front
will shift eastward through Wed night allowing for strong return
southerly flow and building seas to develop over the far western
Gulf waters.

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 26N65W to 25N71W and 
westward across the northwestern Bahamas to south Florida will 
reach from the central Bahamas to the Straits of Florida
tonight,  then become stationary from near the Greater Antilles
Sat evening into Sun. Strong northerly winds are expected behind
the front  through Sat night, while large seas in northerly
swell will  persist through Mon night. Another cold front is
expected to move off the southeastern U.S. coast Sun and move
across the offshore waters through Tue night and reach the far
