Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A 1003 mb low pressure centered over Louisiana near
31N93W extends a cold front to 27N95W to 25.5N97.5W. A line of
strong to severe thunderstorms with frequent lightning and gusty
winds is just ahead of the front, north of 27.5N. These storms
will continue eastward across the Gulf as the front reaches from
Destin, FL to Veracruz Mexico by Wed morning, from Tampa Bay, FL
to the Yucatan Peninsula Wed night, and exiting the basin from
the Straits of Florida to the Yucatan Channel by midday Thu.
Sustained winds across the north-central Gulf of 25 to 35 kt are 
expected through tonight and into early Wed morning, with gusts 
possibly as high as 45 to 50 kt within the squall line. The storms
are forecast to only weaken slightly by the time they reach the
far southeastern Gulf Wed evening. In the wake of the front, 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. These conditions will improve late on Sun into 
Sun night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southerly flow will develop Wed off 
northern and central 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 to 
the Straits of Florida Thu afternoon, then weaken as it reaches 
from near 31N69W to 26N75W, to central Cuba early Fri, and from 
near 31N61W to 25N70W and becomes stationary to central Cuba by 
Sat afternoon. A line of scattered showers and thunderstorms will 
precede the front east of Florida Wed night into Thu. A tight 
gradient will create fresh to strong northeast to east winds and 
building seas within about 180 nm north of the stationary front 
late Fri night through early Sun, especially over the Bahamas, 
Windward Passage and Straits of Florida. Conditions improve late 
on Sun into Sun night.
