Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the north-central Gulf
will support gentle to moderate winds across the basin today.
The pressure gradient is forecast to strengthen over the Gulf
during the upcoming weekend as the strong high pressure shifts
over the western Atlantic. This will bring fresh to strong east
winds over the SE Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, and
fresh southerly return flow over the NW Gulf through Sun night.
Seas will range from 8 to 10 ft across the SE gulf waters. A
cold front is expected to move into the NW Gulf on Mon and reach
from Alabama to the western Gulf on Tue.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N53W to 28N57W. The 
front will continue weakening over the central Atlantic today. 
Strong high pressure will then build over the western Atlantic 
during the upcoming weekend. This will lead to a tight gradient 
which will bring fresh to strong easterly winds over most of the 
forecast waters. Seas are also expected to build to 12 ft east of 
the Bahamas by Sat night and continue through Sun night. 
Conditions will improve on Mon as the high pressure shifts 
eastward and gradually weakens. Fresh southerly flow will develop 
east of northern Florida Sun into early next week.
