Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is building over the area in the wake
of the recent cold front. A tight gradient between the high
pressure and a trough that extends from Tampico to 18N94W is
allowing for fresh to strong northeast winds over the SW Gulf,
and for fresh N to NE winds in the southern half of the central
Gulf. These winds will diminish by early on Thu. The high
pressure will shift eastward into the Atlantic Thu night,
inducing moderate to fresh return flow across most of the basin
Fri through Sat, ahead of the next cold front that is forecast
to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. Strong to near gale force
winds are likely behind the front, with gale force winds
possible in the SW Gulf and over a portion of the w-central Gulf
zones. The front is expected to reach from west- central Florida
to the Yucatan Peninsula by lat Sun.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N70W to 25N74W and 
to central Cuba. The front will move SE and reach from near
31N61W to eastern Cuba by late tonight, then weaken from near
31N49W to  the N coast of Hispaniola Thu evening. Gale force
winds and high seas are expected both ahead of and behind this 
front, to the north of 28N from through Thu afternoon. The gale 
winds will shift E of the offshore zones Thu afternoon. The front 
will stall and weaken along 20N Fri through Sat as strong high 
pressure builds across the western Atlantic. On Sun, the front 
will dissipate as fresh to strong southerly flow sets up over the 
waters east of northeast Florida to 69W in advance of the next 
cold front. This cold front is expected to move into the NW 
forecast waters late Sun, followed by fresh to strong west to 
northwest winds. Seas will build both east and west of this cold 
front.
