Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front extending from southwest
Florida to 26N85W and northwest to 27N92W will continue
southward through early Thu. Meanwhile, a 1022 high pressure
center is located just south of Mobile, Louisiana. The related
gradient is producing a gentle to moderate anticyclonic wind
flow pattern throughout the area, with little change into early
Thu. Changes will be upcoming as low pressure begins to deepen
in the Plains on Thu, and while a broad area of stronger high
pressure builds west-southwestward toward the northern Gulf. The 
resultant gradient is expected to develop fresh to strong east to 
southeast winds along with mostly rough seas across the western 
half of the Gulf starting late Thu night. These winds will expand 
in coverage starting Fri covering most of the basin by Fri, 
including the Straits of Florida and Yucatan Channel. Winds will 
begin to diminish Sun. Elsewhere, pulsing fresh to strong 
northeast winds are expected each afternoon and night offshore of 
the Yucatan Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche as a 
trough develops each day and migrates westward.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weak cold front extending from 31N71W to Palm 
Beach, Florida will reach from near 31N65W to the central
Bahamas and Straits of Florida early Thu and from near 31N61W to
the central Bahamas by Thu evening. The front will then become 
stationary over the eastern part of the area during the upcoming 
weekend as a large area of high pressure builds in behind it, with
the parent high center to be located near 31N72W. A tightening 
pressure gradient between the high pressure and the front is 
expected to develop fresh to strong northeast to east winds behind
the front south of about 26N starting Fri. These winds will 
expand in coverage going into the weekend. Seas east and northeast
of the Bahamas will become rough beginning Fri. Winds and seas 
diminish over the southern part of the area early next week. Low 
pressure may possibly drop southward near 55W Mon and Mon night, 
with associated fresh to strong north winds and rough seas 
impacting some of the eastern zones.
