Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge axis currently extends across S Florida into
the Gulf along 25N. Moderate to fresh southerly winds have been
observed in the W Gulf, and will increase to strong to near
gale- force tonight through 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. 

.TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. 
.WED...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.

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 southeastward 
across the NE forecast 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 and near gale force NW winds are 
possible on Sat across the NE waters associated with another 
cold front. 

.TONIGHT...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. 
.WED...SE winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and S 10 to 15 kt N of 27N.
Seas 3 to 4 ft.
