overnight tonight and dissipate Tue. Winds will be moderate or
weaker with slight seas through Thu, pulsing to moderate to
fresh offshore the W Yucatan in the evenings. Winds may freshen
in the NE Gulf by the end of the week due to building high
pressure north of the area with seas also building.

showers and isolated thunderstorms.

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Nigel is near 28.6N 52.7W at 11 PM EDT, 
and is moving northwest at 10 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 75 
kt with gusts to 90 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 979 
mb. Nigel will continue to strengthen as it moves to near 29.9N 
53.8W Tue morning with maximum sustained winds 85 kt gusts 105 kt,
to just north of the area near 32.1N 54.5W Tue evening, then 
begin to accelerate northeastward well away from the area through 
the rest of the week while weakening. A weak cold front extending
from near 31N73W to extreme South Florida will reach from near 
31N72W to near West Palm Beach, Florida early Tue, then stall over
the northern forecast waters through Thu. The boundary should 
begin to slowly lift northward on Fri as low pressure develops 
along it to the east of northern Florida. Winds and seas will 
likely increase in that area by the end of the week as a tight 
pressure gradient develops between the developing low pressure off
the Carolinas and high pressure inland over the U.S.

showers and isolated thunderstorms.
