Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh return flow is across the
basin, except for fresh to strong SE winds over the NW Gulf and
also in the Gulf extending northwest from the Straits of
Florida. Strong winds in the NW gulf will continue to grow in
areal extent through tonight and then move east across the
northern Gulf through Thu. The next cold front is expected to
enter the western Gulf on Thu followed by strong to near
gale-force winds and building seas. The front is forecast to
extend from the Florida Big Bend to Veracruz, Mexico by Fri
evening with gale-force winds affecting the Veracruz offshore
waters Fri afternoon and evening. The front will then move very
slowly southeast, gradually pushing across the basin through
early Sun while washing out. Moderate to fresh return flow will
dominate early next week.

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from 26N65W southwest
to Andros island will gradually weaken and transition into a 
shearline tonight. Fresh to near gale-force NE winds to the west
of the boundary will continue to expand across the region as high
