Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong southerly winds and rough seas will spread
eastward across most of the Gulf region this evening through
Wed. Frequent gusts to gale force are expected north of 22N and
west of 87W, with building seas of up to 12 to 14 ft across the
central and north-central Gulf on Wed and Wed evening. These
hazardous marine conditions will be the result of a strong
pressure gradient between high pressure over the western
Atlantic and a deepening low pressure over Texas and northern
Mexico. A cold front will approach the coast of Texas by Wed
evening, and extend from the western Florida Panhandle to near
Veracruz, Mexico by Thu evening. The front is forecast to stall
and gradually dissipate into the upcoming weekend.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front from 22N65W to the north 
coast of Hispaniola near 20N70W will continue to support 
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms as well as some
gusty winds over Hispaniola and the adjacent waters likely
through Wed night. A cold front from 29N65W to just north of the 
NW Bahamas will weaken as it quickly pushes east of the area by 
tonight. Fresh to strong easterly winds are forecast across the 
waters south of 23N-24N today. Winds will increase to fresh to 
strong speeds east of the Florida Peninsula by late Wed through 
Thu night ahead of the next cold front forecast to enter the

while weakening Sat and Sat night.
