Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front extends from the Straits of
Florida to 24N88W, where it becomes stationary to the central
Bay of Campeche. The front will slowly move southward today and
become stationary over the Straits of Florida and far
southeastern Gulf by early this afternoon. Strong to near gale-
force northwest to north winds in the SW Gulf near Veracruz will
diminish by early this afternoon. The front will dissipate 
across the eastern Gulf region on Mon as high pressure over the 
region shifts eastward. Fresh to strong return flow will develop 
over the Gulf Mon into early Tue. A cold front is expected to 
enter the far NW Gulf Wed night and stall. Another cold front is 
then expected to enter the NW Gulf Thu night followed by fresh 
to strong northerly winds.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front extends from 31N67W 
southwestward to the central Bahamas and to the Straits of 
Florida. The front will reach from near 31N59W to 27N68W and to 
near the coast of Cuba by early this afternoon, then become 
stationary and gradually dissipate through Mon night. Fresh to 
strong northerly winds behind the front will diminish to mainly 
fresh speeds Mon. A tightening gradient between high pressure that
will settle in over the area in the wake of the front, and an 
approaching broad trough from the E will lead northeast to east 
winds increasing to fresh speeds over the most of the southern 
forecast waters from late Wed through Thu night. Fresh to strong 
northeast winds are expected near and in the Windward Passage.
