Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure is building over the area in
the wake of a strong cold front. The associated tight gradient
is allowing for NW gale winds of 40 kt and very rough seas of
15 to 23 ft in the far SW Gulf. These winds are forecast to
diminish to just below gale force by late tonight. Winds and
seas will begin to diminish across the majority of the basin on
Thu. Fresh to strong northeast winds and rough seas will
continue to affect the southeastern Gulf and the Straits of
Florida through Fri before diminishing Sat. Winds may reach near
gale force across the Straits of Florida tonight through early
Fri. Conditions further improve Sun into early next week as high
pressure settles over the region.

reaching from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas Thu morning,
