Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms are
occurring over the extreme SE Gulf of Mexico and Straits of
Florida, in association with a broad area of deep-layered low
pressure moving E-NE across the north central and northeast Gulf
tonight. This active system will move NE across Florida and SE
U.S. overnight through Sat, with the thunderstorms shifting E
into the Atlantic. A trailing cold front extends from SE
Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico, and will reach from near
Tallahassee, FL to near 22N91W Sat morning, and exit the basin
to the SE by early Sat evening. Fresh to strong northerly winds
will spill across the basin well behind the front tonight
through Sat. High pressure in the wake of the front will quickly
shift eastward late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for
fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western
Gulf, ahead of the next cold front. Strong southerly winds will
then shift to the central and eastern Gulf early Mon through Mon
night as the new cold front enters the western Gulf Mon night.
Fresh to strong N winds are briefly expected Tue behind the
front over the SW Gulf of Mexico. The front will slow and weaken
mid-week over the eastern Gulf.
