Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the area is supporting fresh to
strong southeast winds over the western Gulf, and moderate to
fresh SE winds elsewhere. The pressure gradient will continue to
tighten resulting in increasing southeast fresh to strong winds
over just about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas are
expected to peak to 12 ft in the NW Gulf Sat night and Sun.
Meanwhile, winds will pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the
Yucatan Peninsula each evening through the forecast period.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front that is presently northwest of the area
will merge with a frontal trough that extends from 31N61W to the
eastern Dominican Republic tonight. The front will reach from 
near 31N58W to eastern Cuba by Sat morning, and from near 25N55W 
to Hispaniola by Sun morning, then stall and weaken into a trough 
over the far southeastern part late Sun through Mon night. North 
swell behind the front will build seas to a peak of 12 ft over 
northeast offshore waters by Sun. Strengthening high pressure in 
the wake of the front will result in fresh to strong north to 
northeast winds behind the front from late Fri through Sun. By 
late Sun, fresh winds will prevail south of 29N and west of 60W. 
At that time, fresh to strong west to northwest winds are expected
over the far northeast forecast waters along with building seas. 
Rather tranquil conditions are expected Tue as high pressure 
becomes centered over the NW part of the offshore waters, with the
induced gradient supporting fresh to strong northeast to east 
winds over the southern waters.
