E from the low. The gradient between the low and strong high
pressure over the SE United States will cause winds to gale
force over the NE Gulf of Mexico on Tue afternoon. The low will
shift east-southeast toward South Florida by late Tue night
while the cold front slowly moves eastward, stalling and
weakening by mid- week. Fresh to strong N winds are expected
behind the front Tue and Tue evening. Scattered showers and

from 31N55W to central Cuba tonight, then extend from 31N49W to
23N67W to 24.5N71W Tue evening, with a stationary front
continuing to South Florida. A low pres along this stationary
front over the Gulf of Mexico will cross South Florida Tue night
and move E near the NW Bahamas Wed morning. The low pres is
expected to develop gale force winds on Wed as it continues E
along 26/27N to the E of the Bahamas. These gales should
diminish by early Thu as the low nears 26N65W. At the same time,
a second area of gales is expected to form Wed morning to the
east of N Florida, associated with a sharp surface trough. Winds
will become more southerly Thu ahead of a  stronger cold front
expected to move off the northeast Florida  coast Fri,
accompanied by strong to near-gale force winds and  rough seas.
