Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging over the area will shift
eastward through tonight as a cold front approaches eastern
Texas. Fresh to locally strong SE return flow is expected in the
western and central Gulf through tonight as the cold front
approaches the NW Gulf. Seas will build in the area of strongest
winds. The front is expected to move over the NW Gulf Wed
morning, reach from Tampa Bay, Florida to the eastern Bay of
Campeche by Thu night, and from the Straits of Florida to the
northeastern Yucatan Peninsula by late Fri. The front is
expected to become stationary and weaken from the lower Straits
of Florida to the far south-central Gulf Sat and Sat night. A
line of thunderstorms is expected to accompany the front Wed and
Wed night across the NW and north-central Gulf. Strong N winds
are expected behind the front Wed in the western Gulf,
diminishing to moderate to fresh northerly winds behind the
front later for the central and eastern Gulf. Seas will build to
a peak of about 9 ft in the NW Gulf Wed, then shift to the NE
Gulf late Wed night into early Thu, before subsiding during the
afternoon.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N61W to 26N70W to the 
central Bahamas and to South Florida. The front will reach from 
near 30N55W to the central Bahamas this evening, then weaken on 
Wed as high pressure builds in east of Florida. Moderate to
fresh  N winds will come in behind this front today. Large long-
period N to NE swell will continue to affect much of the area
for the next couple of days. A large and powerful low pressure
system north of the area will bring strong to near gale force W
winds Wed night  through Thu night to the waters east of 65W and
north of 27N. Very large seas can be expected in this area.
Farther west, fresh to  strong southerly winds are expected to
develop offshore NE Florida beginning Wed night as a strong cold
front approaches the  southeastern U.S. coast. The front is
forecast to move off the  coast late Thu, reach from near 31N75W
to West Palm Beach, Florida early Fri, and from near 31N64W to
the Florida Keys early Sat.  The fresh to strong southerly winds
will shift eastward across the northern and central waters
through Sat, while fresh west to  northwest winds are expected
behind the front.
