.SYNOPSIS...Scattered showers and thunderstorms over the NE
portion of the Gulf will are diminishing. This activity may
develop again on Tue as a weak stationary front lingers over the
area, and as an upper-level disturbance passes over this part of
the Gulf. Otherwise, relatively quiet conditions will continue
today as a surface ridge over the area begins to shift eastward.
Fresh to locally strong SE return flow is expected in the
western and central Gulf tonight into Tue night as a cold front
approaches the NW Gulf. Seas will build in the area of strongest
winds. The front is expected to move over the NW Gulf Wed
morning, reach from Tampa Bay, Florida to the eastern Bay of
Campeche by Thu night, from the Straits of Florida to the
northeastern Yucatan Peninsula by late Fri. The front is
expected to become stationary and weaken from the lower Straits
of Florida to the far south-central Gulf Sat and Sat night.
Fresh to strong N winds are expected behind the front Wed in the
western Gulf, diminishing to moderate to fresh northerly winds
behind the front later for the central and eastern Gulf. Seas
will build to a peak of about 9 ft in the NW Gulf Wed, then
shift to the NE Gulf late Wed night into early Thu, before
subsiding during the afternoon.
