and associated ridging will develop across the Gulf today

through Mon night. Moderate to fresh SE winds will develop
across the western half of the Gulf on Tue ahead of the next
cold front that is forecast to emerge from the coast of Texas
Wed morning. These winds are forecast to reach strong to near
gale force speeds Tue night into Wed.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS.. A cold front extends across the W Atlantic from 
31N58W through the northern Bahamas to the NW coast of Cuba,
where it has stalled. Weakening high pressure is centered across
the NE waters and south of the front. This pressure pattern will
maintain  fresh to strong trade winds S of 22N through late Mon,
except N  of Hispaniola and the approaches to the Windward
Passage that will continue through the forecast period. Strong
high pressure building north of the front will produce fresh NE
winds behind  the front today, and gradually veer to the E and
diminish through this evening as the front stalls before
dissipating. The tail of  a new cold front is forecast to emerge
from NE Florida on Mon  morning and affect the northern offshore
waters with moderate to  fresh SW to W winds through early Wed.
