Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A tight pressure gradient between a strong ridge in
the NW Atlantic and lower pressures in the central US and Mexico
will support fresh to strong southeast winds over much of the
Gulf through Sun night. Seas are expected to peak near 10 ft in
the NW and central Gulf today and Sun. Meanwhile, winds will
pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each
evening through the forecast period.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough extends from 31N59W to 19N69W. The
cold front north of the area will merge with the surface trough
this morning and the front will reach from near 25N55W to 
Hispaniola by Sun morning, then stall and weaken over the far 
southeastern part late Sun through Mon night. North swell behind
 the front will build seas to a peak of 12 ft over northeast 
offshore waters by Sun. Strengthening high pressure in the wake
of the front will result in fresh to strong north to northeast
winds behind the front from tonight through Sun. By late Sun,
fresh  winds will prevail in the wake of the weakening front and
continue through Mon. Tranquil conditions are expected Tue as
high  pressure becomes centered over the NW part of the offshore
waters, with the induced gradient supporting fresh northeast to
east  winds over the southern waters.
