Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from Cape Coral, Florida SW
to the NE Yucatan Peninsula will move SE of the Gulf early on
Thu. Moderate to fresh N to NW winds follow the front, except
for locally strong NW winds in the far NE basin. A squall line
ahead of the front will continue to bring heavy showers and
tstms to the far SE basin through Thu morning, including the
Florida Keys and the Straits of Florida. Winds and seas will
decrease Thu through Fri as high pressure builds in the wake of
the front. The high pressure will shift eastward through the end
of the week allowing for mostly fresh E to SE winds to develop
over the western and central Gulf through Sat night, then
diminish Sun. Fresh to strong SE winds then develop over most of
Gulf Mon and Mon night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front coming off the coasts of Georgia
and NE Florida will enter the far NW waters tonight. The front
will reach from Bermuda to central Cuba by Thu evening, from
near 31N62W to the Turks and Caicos Fri evening, then across the 
E and SE forecast waters through Mon. Ongoing gale-force southerly
winds E of the front north of 30N between 74W and 77W will 
diminish late tonight. Strong to near gale-force winds elsewhere E
of the front N of about 27N will diminish Thu night while fresh 
to strong west winds will follow the front N of 29N. Rough seas on
either side of the front N of 27N will shift to E of 70W during 
the upcoming weekend and into early next week. Numerous showers 
and thunderstorms ahead of the front are over the waters N of 27N 
and W of 75W. This activity will continue to shift eastward 
through Thu. A reinforcing cold front will quickly move across the
area from late Fri night through the upcoming weekend, followed 
by fresh to strong west to northwest winds N of 27N. High pressure
will develop off the coast of Georgia on Mon and associated 
ridging will support moderate to fresh winds in the Great Bahama 
Bank and the Caribbean approaches.
