Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A relatively weak high pressure ridge will continue
to extend from the western Atlantic across the E Gulf into the
upcoming week. This will maintain a weak pressure pattern over
the basin. Mostly moderate to fresh SE to S winds will exist W
of 87W through early Mon while light to gentle SE to S winds
will exist E of 87W. The winds W of 87W will shift to W of 90W
afterwards while winds east of 87W generally become light and
variable, except S of 26N where they become gentle NE winds.
Seas will be slight to moderate during the period. A cold front
is expected to move across the NE Gulf Tue through Wed, followed
by gentle to moderate W to NW winds. Fresh to strong winds will
pulse near the northern and western Yucatan Peninsula during the
late afternoons and at night through the period. Hazy conditions
due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the
western Gulf. Smoke is noted over the Bay of Campeche.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from 31N58W to 26N66W and to near
the southeastern Bahamas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
moving eastward are north of 24N and east of 60W. Relatively
weak high pressure elsewhere will change little during the  next
few days. The associated gradient will support mostly  moderate
winds and seas north of the Bahamas and off NE Florida  by Mon
night as the high pressure shifts eastward ahead of a  weakening
cold front that will move across the waters north of  the
Bahamas Tue into midweek. Moderate to fresh southerly winds will
precede the front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms may
accompany the front.
