Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A 1000 mb low pressure system is over the southeast
Gulf near 26N82W. A cold front related to this low extends
across the NW Caribbean. Behind the front, gale force winds
prevail across the Yucatan Channel, with rough to very rough
seas S of 24N. These conditions will prevail through tonight
mainly over the south-central and southeast Gulf as the low
pressure and associated front move east of the basin. Mariners
are urged to exercise caution across the entire Gulf of Mexico,
including outside of the gale warning areas due to the expansive
area of strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas
associated with this weather scenario. Winds and seas will
diminish into mid week. Southerly flow will increase over the
western Gulf late Wed and Thu as low pressure develops over
northeast Mexico and the southern Plains.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Mariners are urged to exercise caution as a powerful
low pressure over the northeast Gulf moves across Florida 
tonight and into the western Atlantic Tue, reaching near Bermuda
by early Wed. Expect strong gales out of the north and seas 
building in excess of 20 ft over the Gulf Stream off northeast 
Florida starting early Tue as the low moves eastward. A large 
area of gale-force winds and high seas will spread across most
of the open waters west of 65W through Tue night. The low
pressure  will remain northeast of Bermuda from Wed and Thu,
supporting a  large field of strong winds and rough seas over
much of the  region mainly north of 22N and east of 75W. Looking
ahead, winds  and seas will diminish from west to east as high
pressure builds  across the region.
