Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A 1019 mb high pressure center located near 25N82W
will slide E into the Atlantic through Wed. Moderate to fresh
southerly winds will develop across the W Gulf today, increasing
to strong to near gale-force speeds tonight and Wed over the NW
and north-central Gulf. Peak seas to 11 ft are forecast in the
highest winds through Wed evening. These winds and seas are
ahead of a frontal system that will stall across Texas. High
pressure and fresh return flow is expected across most of the
basin Thu, before diminishing to moderate speeds Fri. However,
fresh return flow will persist on Fri in the SW Gulf and off the
coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. Gentle to moderate E to SE winds
are expected across the basin Sat and Sat night as the western
extension of Atlantic high pressure will reach westward along
30N.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...An E to W ridge axis along 26N will weaken through 
tonight, then reorganize NE of the Bahamas Wed. Fresh to strong
SW to W winds across the northern waters should continue through
early Wed as a frontal system sweeps eastward across the NW
Atlantic.  The western end of that front will move across the
forecast NE  waters Wed afternoon and night, and reach along 22N
late Thu. High pressure behind the front will act to freshen NE
to E trade winds south of 24N during this period. Looking ahead,
large NW swell is possible on Sat across the NE waters
associated with another cold front.

of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft.

27N. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
