Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong NE winds will pulse offshore of the
Yucatan Peninsula and in the eastern Bay of Campeche through
this weekend as a trough develops daily and moves westward.
Elsewhere, fresh to locally strong SE winds will spread across
much of the basin as the pressure gradient increases between low
pressure over the Southern Plains and high pressure E of
Florida. Seas will also build through the weekend. Conditions
will gradually improve next week as the pressure gradient
relaxes.  

.THIS AFTERNOON...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt in the afternoon.
Seas 3 to 5 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front from SE of Bermuda to 27N71W will
weaken while drifting S today as high pressure builds in the
wake of the front. A tightening pressure gradient between these
two features  will support increasing strong NE to E winds and
rough seas this  weekend from the Bahamas to the Greater
Antilles. Winds and seas  will slowly diminish west of 65W early
next week. A complex low  pressure system may develop in the
central Atlantic this weekend,  producing fresh to strong NE
winds and rough seas surrounding the  low, east of 65W.

4 ft S of 27N, and 4 to 6 ft N of 27N. 
.TONIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt S of 27N, and E 15 to 20 kt N of
27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft S of 27N, and 4 to 6 ft N of 27N.
