Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak Atlantic ridge extends SW into the NE Gulf,
and will dominate the basin through the next several days. This
pattern will support generally moderate to fresh SE to S winds
in the western Gulf, fresh to occasionally strong near the
Yucatan Peninsula and in the NW Gulf, and gentle to moderate
winds in the eastern Gulf through late Wed. By Thu, the ridge
will weaken, allowing for winds to diminish somewhat. Hazy
conditions due to agricultural fires over Central America and
Mexico will continue for the next couple of days, reducing
visibility to around 3 nm at times, mainly over the western half
of the Gulf.

.THIS AFTERNOON...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
Haze. Chance of showers and isolated tstms.
.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Haze.

showers and isolated tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extends from 27N55W to 1013 mb low
pres near 28.5N62.5W to the SE Bahamas. A deep-layered upper
trough across the W Atlantic and into the W Caribbean will shift
 E-NE across the region through Thu, and maintain active
thunderstorms between 55W and 70W, that will shift E and NE
through Thu. The upper trough is expected to aid in strengthening
of the low pressure, which will move NE and exit the area waters
Wed morning. Strong to near gale-force SW winds are expected ahead
of this low pres this afternoon and evening as it moves across
the NE waters. Weak high pressure will begin to build across the
basin Wed then shift slowly E-NE Thu through Fri night. A weak
front may drop into the NW waters Sat.

showers and slight chance of tstms.
