increase to fresh to strong speeds today with seas building to
8 ft. Fresh to locally strong winds will pulse near and to the
NW of the Yucatan Peninsula each night through tonight. Then,
winds are forecast to veer to the E across most of the basin by
late Sun into Mon as high pressure settles over the northern
Gulf. Slight to moderate seas will prevail, reaching 7 or 8 ft
in the NW Gulf through Sun under a persisting SE wind flow.

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N48W to 24N62W where it 
becomes stationary to the southern Bahamas and north-central 
Cuba. The stationary portion of the front will dissipate today
while the cold portion of it transitions to a stationary front. 
Moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds following the front will
prevail across most of the region as high pressure builds over 
the western Atlantic in the wake of the front. The high pressure
will shift E of the forecast area on Sun diminishing the winds 
to gentle to moderate speeds. A cold front could reach the north 
waters late on Mon or Mon night.
