Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1014 mb is over the NW Gulf near 
28N93W, with a trailing cold front to 23N94W and to inland 
Mexico just north of Veracruz. Gale force northerly winds are 
behind the front and west of the low pressure, while strong 
winds are east of the low and front. The low will gradually 
weaken as it tracks northeastward across the rest of the NW and 
north-central Gulf waters through today. It will track east-
northeastward across the NE Gulf tonight. The gale force 
northerly winds will be confined to the SW Gulf offshore 
Veracruz by early this afternoon, then diminish tonight. The 
front will exit the southeastern Gulf Tue night and be over the 
Straits of Florida Wed. High pressure will build over the NW 
Gulf in the wake of the front, except a trough will persist over 
the far SW Gulf Tue and Wed. This pattern will allow for winds 
to diminish and seas to subside, except for fresh to strong 
northwest winds along the Mexican coast west of the trough. 
Looking ahead, another cold front will move into the northern 
Gulf Fri and reach from the NE Gulf to the south-central Gulf 
and to the SW Gulf by late Fri. 

.TODAY...Straits of Florida, E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt, 
shifting to NE early in the evening. Elsewhere, SE winds 10 kt 
in the late morning and early afternoon, becoming variable less 
than 5 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Isolated showers. 
.TONIGHT...NE to E winds 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Isolated 
showers. 
.TUE...NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Isolated showers 
and thunderstorms.

showers and thunderstorms.
.WED...N to NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. 
.WED NIGHT...N to NE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. 
.THU...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft.

.FRI...N winds 10 kt. Seas 2 to 3 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from near 24N65W to the 
Windward passage will weaken and dissipate through Tue. A weak 
cold front is expected to move over the northwest part of the 
area Tue, then become stationary across the far northern waters 
Wed southwest to near 30N77W, where it will transition to a weak 
cold front to near South Florida. A slighter stronger cold front 
will then overcome the stationary front and weak cold front as 
it sweeps across the western part of the area late Wed night and 
across the rest of the forecast waters Thu into early Fri. Yet a 
stronger cold front is expected to be along the southeast U.S. 
coast Fri night. Winds and seas will begin to increase late Fri 
off northeast Florida.
