Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between strong high pressure
east of the area and lower pressures over Texas and Mexico will
lead to a continuation of fresh to strong SE winds across most
of the Gulf through at least Tue night. A cluster of
thunderstorms near a sharp surface trough is likely to affect
portions of the eastern half of the Gulf of Mexico tonight
through Tue, bringing strong to near-gale force winds. Winds
will diminish a bit by late Wed before a weak cold front moves
into the NW Gulf toward the end of the week.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 23N55W to 21N60W,
where it becomes stationary to Hispaniola. The front will remain
nearly stationary along 20N on Tue, then sink southward Tue
night into Wed reaching the NE Caribbean while weakening.
Unusually strong high pressure building in the wake of the front 
will bring a continuation of strong trade winds and rough seas 
through Tue night or Wed to the southern waters, south of 25N. 
Winds and seas will then gradually decrease during the second half
of the week.
