Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the western
Atlantic westward to across the Gulf will change little through
Fri. The combination between the ridge and low pressure forming
over inland Mexico Tue and Tue night will result in a tightening
of the pressure gradient leading to some increase in winds and
seas over the NW and N-central Gulf beginning Tue night and
through Thu. Fresh to locally strong northeast to east winds
will develop each evening near the northern Yucatan Peninsula,
then weaken overnight as the associated trough moves offshore.
Patchy fog is expected over portions of the NW Gulf, especially
during the overnight and early morning hours into Tue.  

.THIS AFTERNOON...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Isolated 
showers.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure ridging 
over the western Atlantic and low pressure of 1014 mb located
east of the area near 23N61W supports fresh north to northeast 
winds over the eastern part of the area south of 27N. The low 
pressure is forecast to gradually weaken while it moves south- 
southwestward to near 20N62W by Mon evening. A weak cold front 
will move across the northern waters today through Mon night. 
Expect moderate to fresh winds and building seas in the wake of 
the front. Strong high pressure will build north of the area Wed
 night through Thu night, resulting in increasing northeast to
east winds and building seas across the forecast region.
