Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extending from Cape Coral,
Florida SW to the Yucatan Peninsula will exit the basin this
morning. A strong pressure gradient between the front and high
pressure building behind it is supporting fresh to strong
northerly winds in the E and SW gulf. Rough seas in the 8 to
15 ft range cover these regions, being the highest seas in the
SW gulf. Winds in the SW and E gulf will diminish to moderate to
fresh speeds by noon today and seas will subside below 8 ft at
night. Looking ahead, the aforementioned front is forecast to
stall across the western Atlantic and NW Caribbean on Tue,
before drifting back towards the Straits of Florida and the SE
Gulf on Wed. The pressure gradient between very strong high
pressure north of the area and lower pressure associated with
the frontal boundary will lead to fresh to near gale force winds
across the E and NW gulf Tue evening through Thu with potential
gale force winds developing over the north-central and NE basin
Thu night through Fri night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Gale-force winds ahead and behind a cold front over 
the offshore waters N of 27N and W of 67W will continue through
about noon today when the front is forecast to extend from
31N72W to central Cuba. Afterward, fresh to strong southerly
winds and rough seas to 11 ft will continue ahead of the front
through this evening. The front is forecast to stall W of
Bermuda to central Cuba Tue morning, before retreating back 
towards the NW Bahamas and the Straits of Florida on Wed. The 
pressure gradient between very strong high pressure north of the 
area and lower pressure associated with the frontal boundary will 
lead to the development of strong to near-gale force NE to E winds
and building seas over the central and northern Bahamas offshore 
waters Tue and Wed, and over the Florida offshore waters Wed 
through Fri night. Gale or gust to gale-force winds are possible 
over the Florida and Bahamas offshore waters Wed through Fri.
