Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front over the western Gulf extends from
southwestern Louisiana to inland extreme northeastern Mexico.
Moderate to fresh northeast winds are behind the front. The
front will stall this morning and linger over the NW Gulf
through Fri night. Winds behind the front will increase to fresh
to strong over some of the waters. Weak low pressure is forecast
to develop along the frontal boundary over the NW Gulf on Fri
and gradually shift east-northeastward. Northerly flow behind
the low will push the front east-southeastward across the
northern and central Gulf through late Sat. The front is
expected to stall over the southeast and south-central Gulf Sun
and into next week. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms are expected with the front. Fresh to strong winds
are expected to pulse at night off the Yucatan Peninsula into
the Bay of Campeche this morning and again tonight into early
Fri morning.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A high pressure ridge across the western Atlantic 
will continue to support fresh to strong winds between Hispaniola
and Turks and Caicos Islands through this evening. A broad inverted
trough, with axis currently near 56W, will shift westward through
Sat reaching the southeastern Bahamas. This feature will enhance 
winds and seas east of the Bahamas through the end of the week as 
it interacts with high pressure north of the area. A cold front 
will move to just offshore NE Florida on Sat, bringing strong to 
ale-force northerly winds and a significant swell event from Sun 
night into Mon.
