Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure along the U.S. eastern seaboard
extends a ridge southwestward to the western Gulf, and producing
moderate to fresh E to SE winds over most of the basin, except
for locally strong E winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula.
The high pressure will shift eastward ahead of a cold front that
will enter the N Gulf Sat through Sun night, leading to diminishing
winds and seas through Sun. Atlantic high pressure will build in 
again over the area early next week. Pulsing fresh to locally 
strong winds off the Yucatan Peninsula will change little into 
early next week. 

.OVERNIGHT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. Isolated
showers. 
.SAT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. 
.SAT NIGHT...W winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to N to NE after
midnight. Seas 3 to 4 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 23N55W to 22N69W will 
weaken and dissipate Sat. Strong high pressure building in the 
wake of the front is producing fresh to locally strong NE to E 
winds north of the front and east of the central and southern 
Bahamas. Fresh to strong southeast winds have developed over the
waters offshore northeastern Florida in advance of the next cold
front that will move off the coast of the southeastern U.S. Sat 
night. This cold front will move southeast, become stationary 
from near 31N60W to the NW Bahamas by Mon night, then weaken 
through Tue night. Fresh to strong southwest winds will develop 
ahead of the front and will shift eastward across the waters 
north of about 29N through Sun before shifting north of the 31N 
Sun night.
