Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending into the eastern
Gulf of Mexico from the western Atlantic will persist through
Fri night, allowing for primarily moderate to fresh winds. A weak
cold front is forecast to enter the NW Gulf waters by early Sat 
and move southeastward before dissipating Sat night. Moderate to 
locally fresh return flow will then dominate the basin through 
Mon. Another cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf late on 
Mon and stall. The front will then begin to move southeastward 
starting late Mon night in response to high pressure that will 
build southward behind it. The front should reach from northern 
Florida to NE Mexico by late Tue. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds 
will follow in behind the front.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Weak ridging is allowing for gentle to moderate SE
winds off the coast of central Florida. Farther south, moderate to
fresh E trade winds prevail across the Bahamas, Old Bahama 
Channel and Straits of Florida. High pressure ridging will settle 
in along 28/29N late Fri. Fresh southerly winds are expected 
offshore northeast Florida Fri night through Sat night as a weak 
frontal boundary moves just offshore southeastern Georgia and NE 
Florida. The high pressure ridge will then be nudged southward to 
along 26N Mon through late Tue as a cold front approaches 31N.
