Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A slow moving front is in the NE Gulf of Mexico,
bringing light to gentle winds with it. The front will dissipate
by Fri. Meanwhile, the relatively weak surface ridging across
the basin will continue into early next week. As a result, winds
will pulse moderate to fresh in the western Gulf during the
evenings through the weekend, as well as in the eastern Gulf Fri
night through Sat. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will pulse near
the northern and western portions of the Yucatan peninsula
during the late afternoons and at night through Sun. Haze west
of 90W due to agricultural fires over Central America and Mexico
will continue for at least the next couple of days reducing
visibility at times.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak surface ridging over the region is
allowing for moderate or lighter winds to exist over the
forecast waters. A cold front moving across the waters from 31N78W
to 29N81W will press eastward, stretching from Bermuda to the
central Bahamas by Fri evening, then from 29N55W to the SE
Bahamas by Sun with the tail-end of the boundary stalling. High
pressure building in behind the front will tighten the pressure
gradient across the region, bringing moderate to fresh winds and
moderate seas across waters north of 20N, along with building seas.
Conditions will slightly improve by early next week north of 27N.

.OVERNIGHT...NE winds 5 to 10 kt late. Seas 2 ft or less.
