Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Straits
westward to 24N98W in northern Mexico. The front will stall along
the Florida Straits into this weekend. Strong to Near Gale force 
NE winds and rough seas of 8 to 11 ft will continue along and 
behind the front across much of the region. The pressure gradient
between this front and building high pressure over the 
southeastern United States will support fresh to strong NE winds 
and rough seas this weekend into early next week, especially over 
southern and eastern portions of the basin.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N72W southwestward to
24N81W and through the Gulf of Mexico. The front will stall over 
the Florida Straits into this upcoming weekend. Strong to Near 
Gale force N to NNE winds and rough seas of 8 to 10 ft will 
continue along and behind the front off the east coast of Florida,
generally west of 74W and north of 24N. The pressure gradient 
between this front and building high pressure over the 
southeastern United States will then support fresh to strong NE 
winds north of 21N and west of 70W this weekend into early next 
week. Low pressure Invest AL94 is centered near 17N54W. 
Environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for slow
development as the system moves quickly westward to west- 
northwestward around 20 mph, passing near the Virgin Islands and 
Puerto Rico on Friday, then near the Greater Antilles over the 
weekend. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh E trade winds will 
prevail over the much of the basin this weekend through next week.
