Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to shift
ESE starting Sun. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the
western Gulf, and gentle to moderate SE to S winds elsewhere are
expected to continue through the weekend, except for winds
becoming light and variable over most of the eastern Gulf
through early next week. A cold front will move across the NE
Gulf from late Tue through Wed night, followed by gentle to
moderate west 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 and Bay of Campeche.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from near 29N61W WSW to weak low
pressure of 1012 mb near 27N69W to E Cuba. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are presently in the NE semicircle of the low to
57W. Regarding the low, although environmental conditions are not
conducive, some slight subtropical or tropical development is
possible over the next couple of days while the system moves
generally NE. Otherwise, relatively weak high pressure will remain
over the region for the next few days. The associated gradient
will support moderate winds and seas are possible north of the
Bahamas and off northeast Florida by Mon night as the high
pressure shifts eastward ahead of a cold front that is expected to
move off the southeastern U.S. coast Mon night, move across the
waters east of northern Florida early on Tue, reach from near
31N79W to east- central Florida early on Wed and from near 31N78W
to 29N79W and stationary to east-central Florida Wed night.
