Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from South Florida across
the central Gulf to near 25N95W. The front will slowly dissipate
through this evening. Then, a ridge will dominate the basin
producing gentle to moderate E to SE winds and slight seas,
pulsing to moderate to fresh offshore the W Yucatan in the
evenings. Building high pressure north of the area could bring
fresh winds and building seas over the NE Gulf by the end of the
week.

Scattered showers and isolated tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Nigel is near 30.5N 54.3W at 11 AM EDT, 
and is moving north-northwest at 14 kt. Maximum sustained winds 
are 80 kt with gusts to 100 kt, and the minimum central pressure
is 975 mb. Nigel will move N of area to near 32.3N 54.7W this 
evening. Strong winds and rough seas associated with Nigel will 
continue to affect the forecast waters through late Wed or Wed 
evening. A stationary front extending from near 31N71W to South 
Florida will change little 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. Gale- force 
northerly winds are expected off the southeastern U.S. coast Fri 
through Sat.
