Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A sharp surface trough extending from the central
Gulf to the NE Gulf is producing strong to near-gale force winds
and rough seas, along with showers. Expect these conditions to
persist through late this afternoon as the trough drifts
northeastward. The trough should weaken tonight, and the winds
and seas will then subside. Otherwise, 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 SE 
winds across most of the Gulf through Wed. Winds will diminish a 
bit by late Wed before a weak cold front moves into the NW Gulf 
late Wed night. The front will reach from SE Louisiana to Tampico,
Mexico late Thu before stalling. Another cold front will reach 
the NW Gulf late Fri night, extend from SE louisiana to Tampico 
Sat morning, and from Tampa Bay to the eastern Bay of Campeche Sun
morning. Fresh NW to N winds will follow this front across the 
Gulf of Mexico, with strong winds in the SW Gulf.

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure north of the area will continue 
to bring strong trade winds and rough seas mainly across the

weakens. Looking ahead, the next cold front should emerge off the
