Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extends from high pressure over the western
Atlantic across the Gulf coast states. The pressure gradient
between this area of high pressure and low pressure over Mexico
and the southwestern Gulf of Mexico is supporting fresh to
strong SE winds over much of the Gulf of Mexico, with seas up to
12 ft. The area of high pressure will start to weaken on Mon,
loosening the pressure gradient which will diminish winds and
decrease seas across the basin. Elsewhere, winds will pulse to
fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula and south-
central Gulf each evening through the forecast period.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 24N55W to 22N66W, followed
by a shear line to western Hispaniola. The cold front will move E
before stalling and weakening over the far southeastern waters
late today through Mon night. Fresh to strong N-NE winds will
prevail N of 28N behind the front to 65W with seas to 12 ft today.
Also, fresh to strong winds will be prevalent over the waters S
of 25N and W of the front today. Moderate to fresh winds will
prevail elsewhere into early this week. More tranquil marine
conditions are expected afterwards as high pressure becomes
centered over the NW waters.
