Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong easterly winds and rough seas in the
wake of a front, currently located just SE of area, will
continue to gradually diminish tonight. High pressure will
dominate the Gulf waters through Wed. A low pressure is forecast
to develop over the NW Gulf near the Texas coast late on Thu,
then track northeast toward the state of Georgia by Fri night
pushing a cold front across the basin. This next frontal system
will bring increasing winds and seas across the Gulf waters, as
well as widespread showers and thunderstorms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from near Bermuda to western 
Cuba will reach from 31N57W to central Cuba by Wed morning. A 
weak low pressure may form along the front near 30N56W on Thu 
morning, with the front reaching eastern Cuba. Then, the front 
will extend from near 31N50W to northern Hispaniola by Fri 
morning. Gale force winds ahead of the front are forecast to end
late this afternoon. A band of showers and thunderstorms is 
currently ahead of the front. High pressure in the wake of the 
front will quickly shift eastward through Fri night, allowing for 
fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western half 
of the forecast waters as low pressure tracks northeastward from 
the Gulf of Mexico to over northern Florida, and to north of the 
area Sat and Sat night. These winds will expand in coverage as 
they shift eastward ahead of a cold front that will trail from the
low over the western waters.
