Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from South Florida across
the central Gulf near 25N90W to near 28N94W. The front will
dissipate through tonight. 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. A developing low pressure E of Florida will tight the
pressure gradient over the NE Gulf bringing fresh NE winds by
Thu night into Fri.  

.TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms. 
.WED...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Nigel is just N of the area near 31.8N 
54.7W at 5 PM EDT, and is moving north-northwest at 12 kt.
Maximum sustained winds are 85 kt with gusts to 105 kt, and the
minimum central pressure is 974 mb. Strong winds and rough seas 
associated with Nigel will continue to affect the forecast waters 
through Wed. A stationary front extending from near 31N70W to 
South Florida will change little through Thu. The frontal boundary
should begin to slowly lift northward on Fri as low pressure 
develops along it to the east of northern Florida where gale 
conditions and rough seas are possible Thu night into Fri. This 
non-tropical area of low pressure could acquire some subtropical 
characteristics this weekend while it moves generally northward. 
Regardless of subtropical development, this low is likely to bring
gusty winds, heavy rain, and high surf conditions to portions of 
the coastal Carolinas into the coastal Mid-Atlantic states late 
this week into this weekend.
