Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters producing
moderate to fresh N to NE winds, except S of 24N where fresh to
strong NW to N winds prevail. The high pressure will move
eastward towards the Carolinas by tonight. As a result, winds
will veer to the E and SE with improving marine conditions. The
next cold front will enter the NW Gulf by late Thu, reaching
from the Florida Big Bend to near Tampico, Mexico by Fri
morning, and the far SE Gulf by Fri night into Sat morning.
Gale-force winds and building seas are expected over the SW
Gulf, in the wake of the front, Fri night into Sat morning.
Strong high pressure will follow the front, keeping winds in the
fresh to strong speeds over most of the Gulf waters through Mon.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Bermuda to western
Cuba. The front will move eastward and extend from 31N57W to the
central Bahamas on Thu morning. Later on Thu, it will become 
stationary and begin to lift northward ahead of the next cold
front forecast to enter the northeast Florida offshore waters on
Fri. This front will cause winds and seas to build once again 
near this front north of 27N. High pressure building east of the
front is going to keep fresh winds and moderate to rough seas 
near the southeast Bahamas, Greater Antilles and Leeward Islands
through Fri.
