Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong SE winds will occur in the central 
Gulf of America today as a storm system strengthens in the central
United States. A warm front will lift northward through the 
north-central Gulf this morning, promoting widespread fresh to 
strong S winds and rough seas for areas west of 85W. A strong 
pressure gradient associated with the storm system may support a 
period of near-gale force winds in the northeastern Gulf offshore 
of Alabama and Mississippi. A cold front is forecast to enter the 
northwestern basin later today, with fresh to locally strong N to 
NW winds expected behind the front, mainly offshore of the US Gulf
coast. Fresh to strong NW winds will prevail east of 92W and 
north of 25W Wed into Thu as the cold front moves southeastward 
through the basin. Looking ahead, high pressure building over the 
central United States late this week will support moderate to 
locally fresh E to SE winds across the basin.

tonight through Wed ahead of a cold front associated with the 
storm system. The cold front is forecast to move off the
