Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending westward from the western Atlantic to the central Gulf of Mexico will be in control of the wind flow pattern over most of the area through late Sat. A moist return flow across the northern Gulf is likely to lead to patchy areas of fog at night through Sat. Fresh to strong winds northeast to east winds will continue pulsing off the NW Yucatan peninsula and south-central Gulf at night through Sat night, then pulse at mostly fresh speeds through Tue night. Looking ahead, a cold front is forecast to move into the far NW Gulf Sun morning, reach from northern Florida to near 27N90W and to northeast Mexico Sun evening, then stall from west-central Florida to 26N90W and to northeast Mexico early on Mon. The front is expected to gradually become diffuse into Tue night. Moderate to fresh northeast winds will follow the front, except briefly reaching strong speeds over the waters east of southern Texas Sun night. .TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt.

A trough extends from the low to near 18N62W. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are well east of this system. Fresh to strong southerly winds are southeast of the low. The low will move northeast of the forecast waters by early this afternoon. he remainder of the SW N Atlantic is under the influence of high pressure that supports moderate to fresh easterly winds south of 27N. Winds will diminish and seas will subside over these waters as the low pressure continues to pull away allowing for the pressure gradient to relax. Looking ahead, moderate to fresh southerly winds will develop over the Florida offshore waters N of the NW Bahamas starting Sun afternoon ahead of a cold front forecast to move off NE Florida Sun night. These winds will reach strong speeds Sun night and diminish to moderate to fresh speeds Mon. On Tue and Tue night, weak high pressure will settle in over the western half of the area providing for light to gentle winds over most of the area, except east of 65W where winds will be gentle to moderate. .TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and SE 5 to 10 kt N of 27N.
