Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is building over the area in the wake
of the recent cold front. Fresh N to NE winds prevail over much 
of the southeastern and central Gulf. These winds will diminish 
by early 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. A strong cold front is forecast
to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. The front is forecast to reach 
from Tampa Bay to Cancun Sun evening, and exit the basin by Mon 
morning. Fresh to strong winds are expected behind the front.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N62W to the eastern
tip of Cuba. A secondary cold front trails it, extending from
near Bermuda to Miami, FL. The secondary front will speed up and
merge with the first front by late Thu. The main front will
reach from  near 31N48W to the N coast of Hispaniola Thu
evening. Strong N winds east of Florida will diminish by Thu
morning. The front will stall and weaken along 20N Fri through 
Sat as strong high pressure builds across the western Atlantic. 
The gradient between the strong high pressure along 31N and lower 
pressure associated with the stalled front will induce fresh to 
strong ENE trade winds south of 23N Fri through Sun. 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.
