Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong to near-gale force winds over a portion of
the SW Gulf that includes within 60 nm offshore Veracruz will
diminish to fresh to strong speeds tonight. Little change is
expected through Sat. Rough seas with these winds will slowly
subside through Fri. Otherwise, disorganized showers and
thunderstorms over portions of the Gulf of Mexico are associated
with a surface trough. A broad area of low pressure is likely to
develop over the Gulf of Mexico late this weekend or early next
week, but subsequent tropical or subtropical development could
be limited by the system potential interaction with a frontal
boundary. Regardless of development, scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms are expected over most of the basin
this weekend.Fresh to strong winds are expected to begin to
materialize over the NE and north-central Gulf late Sat, then
spread to the north-central and western Gulf sections by Mon
night. Expect building seas with these winds.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure will remain just N of the area
through the next few days. A trough extends from low pressure of
1003 mb that is N of the area near 34N62W southwestward to 31N64W
to near 27N72W. The low pressure will move east through tonight, 
then south to southwest Fri and into the weekend while weakening. 
Strengthening Hurricane Kirk well ESE of the offshore zones will 
move NW during the next few days, passing to the E of the NE
