Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends across the Straits of Florida
and the Yucatan Channel. Winds and seas associated with the
passage of this front will gradually improve by Fri as the front
moves across the NW Caribbean Sea. High pressure will follow the
front. Fresh to locally strong southerly return flow will set-up
this weekend in the NW Gulf in response to the next cold front
that will be approaching the NW Gulf. This front is expected to
move into the far northern Gulf Sun and Sun night, and stall
along the northern Gulf through Mon night. As high pressure
moves eastward into the western Atlantic, expect fresh to strong
east winds across the Straits of Florida and the far SE Gulf Sat
and Sat night and diminish Sun.

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N73W to the Straits of
Florida will reach from 31N71W to western Cuba tonight, and from
31N68W to central Cuba by Fri morning, then stall and the
southern part of the front will begin to lift northward on Sat.
By Sun morning, a weakening frontal boundary will extent from 
31N55W to the NW Bahamas. A tight pressure gradient across the 
area will support fresh to strong NE to E winds and building seas 
across the Great Bahama Bank, the Straits of Florida and the 
Windward passage late Fri night through Sun night. Southerly flow 
will increase E of NE Florida by Sun night ahead of the next cold 
front forecast to enter the western Atlantic on Mon.
