Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Fort Myers, Florida
west-southwest to near 25N89W. The front will gradually
dissipate through early Wed. Otherwise, high pressure will be in
control of the weather regime allowing for generally gentle to
moderate east to southeast winds along with slight seas, pulsing
to moderate to fresh offshore the western Yucatan Peninsula in
the evenings. Developing low pressure east of Florida will tight
the pressure gradient over the NE Gulf bringing fresh NE winds
Thu night into Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Hurricane Nigel is north of the area near 33.2N
54.7W at 11 PM EDT, and is moving north at 13 kt. Maximum
sustained  winds are 85 kt with gusts to 105 kt, and the minimum
central  pressure is 971 mb. Nigel is forecast to accelerate
northeastward on Wed as IT pulls farther away from the area.
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 Stuart, 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.
