Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening stationary front extends from the NW
coast of Cuba to just N of the Yucatan Peninsula. The front is
expected to dissipate later this morning. High pressure centered
over the SE U.S. will slide eastward through late today as a low
pressure system develops over eastern Texas, and quickly tracks
east-northeastward across the southern U.S. while deepening. The
low will drag a strong cold front across the Gulf of Mexico late
this afternoon through Thu. While near gale and gale force winds 
will occur over the north-central Gulf tonight with this system, 
fresh to strong S winds are expected over the SE Gulf tonight 
into early Wed ahead of the front, with fresh N winds behind the 
front Thu. Fresh to strong east winds will surge from the 
southwestern Atlantic through the Straits of Florida and into the 
far southeastern Gulf Sat and Sat night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N68W to the Straits
of Florida. Fresh winds are west of the front. This front is 
expected to reach from near 31N60W to 26N70W and stationary to 
east-central Cuba by early this afternoon. Fresh north winds 
behind the front will diminish by this afternoon. Strong 
southerly flow develops Wed off central and northern Florida ahead
of a strong cold front that will move off the southeastern U.S. 
coast on Wed evening. This front is expected to reach from near 
31N74W to the NW Bahamas and to the Straits of Florida Thu 
afternoon, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N69W to 26N75W, 
to central Cuba early Fri. A tight gradient will create fresh to 
strong northeast to east winds and building seas within about 180 
nm north of the stationary front.
