Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are occurring over portions of
the southeastern Gulf of Mexico in association with a stationary
front and a pair of 1007 mb lows along the front. This system
will move E this evening and then inland across Florida tonight.
Strong to gale-force southerly winds are expected over the
eastern Gulf through early this evening, mainly associated with
the thunderstorm activity. Some of the thunderstorms could be
severe with higher gusts and frequent lightning. A trailing cold
front is located over the NW Gulf of Mexico from 29.5N91W to
26.5N95W and will reach from near Tallahassee, FL to near 22N91W
Sat morning, and exit the basin to the SE by early Sat evening.
Fresh to strong northerly winds will spill across the basin well
behind the front tonight through Sat. High pressure in the wake
of the front will quickly shift eastward from late Sat night
through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds
to develop over the western Gulf, ahead of the next cold front.
Strong southerly winds will shift to the central and eastern
Gulf early Mon through Mon night as a cold front enters the
western Gulf Mon night. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly
expected Tue behind the front over the SW Gulf of Mexico. The
front will slow down and weaken mid-week over the eastern Gulf.
