.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the eastern of the United States
supports moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds across the Gulf
region, with the exception of fresh to strong NW winds offshore
Veracruz. These winds will diminish by tonight. A tightening
pressure gradient between the high pressure and a low pressure
forecast to develop near the Bahamas will bring fresh to strong
NE winds and rough seas over the eastern Gulf Fri night into
Sat. These marine conditions will spread westward to the central
Gulf by late Sat through early next week. Fresh to strong winds
and rough seas are also expected in the Straits of Florida,
particularly Sunday night into Mon.
