Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 29N83W to 22N98W, while
the tail end of another front extends across the Straits of
Florida along 24N and E of 85W. Both fronts will exit the basin
by tonight. Fresh to strong northerly winds will spill across
the basin well behind the front through Sun. High pressure in
the wake of the front will quickly shift eastward Sun night,
allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the
western Gulf Sun, 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 W Gulf of Mexico. The front will slow
and weaken mid- week from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz,
Mexico.

Passage by Mon morning, then weaken considerably as it moves SE 
across the Atlantic and adjacent NE Caribbean waters through Tue 
night. Strong to near gale-force NE winds and large NE to N swell 
will follow the front early Sun through Mon. Low pressure will
