Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S return flow will prevail over the
central and western Gulf today ahead of a cold front, which is
forecast to move off the coast of Texas this morning. The front
will reach from Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of Campeche
early Thu and from Sarasota, FL to the central Bay of Campeche
Thu night before slowing down and beginning to weaken. A line of
strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to accompany the
front tonight into Thu across the north-central and NE Gulf of 
Mexico. Moderate to fresh northerly winds are expected behind the
front tonight into Thu for the central and eastern Gulf. The 
front should become stationary Fri night from the Florida Keys to 
the south-central Gulf of Mexico before weakening further. The 
front should remain in about the same position through Sat as a 
surface trough forms over the SW Gulf. The gradient between this 
surface trough and high pressure over the southern U.S. is likely 
to induce a large area of fresh to strong N to NE winds over the 
central Gulf this weekend.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 29N55W to 23N70W, then 
curves as a stationary front to near West Palm Beach, FL. The 
front will weaken today as high pressure builds in east of 
Florida. Large long-period N to NE swell will continue to affect
much of the area through Thu. Fresh to strong southerly winds 
will develop offshore NE Florida beginning tonight 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 31N74W to
West Palm Beach, FL early Fri, and from near 31N65W to the 
Florida Keys early Sat. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are 
likely to move offshore the Florida coast on Thu. On Sun, a 
reinforcing cold front is expected to merge with it. The merged 
front is expected to reach from near 31N62W to the central Bahamas
and western Cuba Sun night. The fresh to strong southerly winds 
will shift eastward across the northern and central waters through
Sat and exit the area late Sat. Fresh northwest to north winds 
will follow in behind the merged front.
