Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the eastern United
States will maintain mostly moderate southeast winds and slight
to moderate seas through early Fri, then winds may increase some
late Fri into Sat over the eastern Gulf as high pressure builds
southward from the southeastern United States and a weak cold
front approaches eastern Texas. Relatively calm conditions are
expected Sun and Sun night as the weak cold front moves across
the Gulf, followed by weak high pressure that becomes
established over the NW Gulf at that time.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from a 1015 mb low near 33N73W
southwestward to 28N75W, where it transitions to a dissipating  
stationary front to the central Bahamas. The pressure gradient 
between the front and high pressure to the east will generally 
maintain fresh winds and rough seas over the waters S of 24N and
west of 65W through early Thu afternoon. The cold front will 
reach from near 31N69W to 28N75W by late Thu night, at which time 
a stronger cold front is expected to be just to its N. This front 
will quickly push S reaching from near 31N57W to central Florida 
by Thu evening, from near 28N55W to the SE waters by Fri evening, 
with its southern portion weakening through late Sat and while the
rest of the front moves well to the E of 55W. Fresh to strong 
northerly winds and large N swell are expected to follow in behind
the front starting Fri mainly E of about 70W.
