Southeast Gulf of America .SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure is centered over the far eastern Gulf near 27N83W allowing for generally light to gentle variable winds to prevail across the basin along with slight to moderate seas. A surface trough extends from near 28N88W and tor 26N96W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are noted from 26N to 29N between 86W and 90W. A cold front is forecast to push southward across the NE Gulf waters tonight and exit the southeastern waters Sun evening. Stronger higher pressure will build across the region in the wake of this front allowing for freshening of the winds across the basin into Mon. Looking ahead, fresh to strong southerly winds will develop over the western half of the starting Mon night ahead of the next cold front that is forecast to emerge off the Texas coast Tue afternoon. This cold front will reach from southeastern Louisiana to the SW Gulf late Tue night, from northern Florida to near 24N91W and to the central Bay of Campeche Wed, and to just southeast of the basin by early Thu. High pressure ridging in its wake will slide to the eastern Gulf Thu night. .TONIGHT...S of 24N, N winds 10 kt in the evening. Variable winds less than 5 kt late.

Fresh to strong southwest winds are forecast ahead of the front north of about 26N. High pressure will build across the region in the wake of the front. A tight gradient between the high pressure and the front is expected to lead to fresh northeast to east winds south of 30N west of the front from Mon night through Tue night. Looking ahead, fresh to strong southerly winds are expected to develop over the NW part of the area starting Tue afternoon and into early Wed in advance of a stronger cold front. These winds may reach to near gale force Wed and Wed night as they shift to mostly south to southwest in direction while the front emerges off the southeastern United States coast. Fresh to strong winds west are expected west of the front east of northern and central Florida Wed night. The front is forecast to move across the western and central waters Thu and Thu night, with fresh to strong winds on either side of it north and northeast of the Bahamas. .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and W 10 to 15 kt N of 27N.
