Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Cape San Blas, Florida to
the central Bay of Campeche, and is moving very slowly eastward.
Fresh NE winds and rough seas prevail behind the front mainly N
of 24N. High pressure will build modestly into the W Gulf this
morning through Thu, which will produce fresh to strong winds
and building seas behind the front, as the front moves across
the south-central and southeast Gulf Thu through Thu evening.
Expect rough seas in the Yucatan Channel by Thu night. Winds and
seas will diminish again across the Gulf Fri into Sat as the
high pressure moves eastward across the northern Gulf. Looking
ahead, expect moderate to fresh SE return flow over the
northwest Gulf by late Sun.  

.TODAY...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. Scattered
showers.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong winds N of 27N, and large northerly 
swell, are behind a cold front extending from 31N59W to the 
central Leeward Islands. The front will move slowly eastward and 
weaken through Thu, as associated low pressure currently just SW 
of Bermuda moves southeastward to near 29N59W around midday, and 
stalls near 26N59W on Thu. The front will move eastward of the 
regional waters and gradually weaken by Fri, as the low pressure 
weakens, and lifts northward again, passing to the east of Bermuda
early Sat. Meanwhile, fresh to strong winds and rough seas will 
follow a new cold front that will move off the NE coast of Florida
Thu, reach from Bermuda to eastern Cuba late Fri morning, and 
from 31N55W to central Hispaniola Sat morning. Looking ahead, winds
and seas will diminish in most areas W of the front as high 
pressure builds along 27N over the weekend in the wake of the 
front.
