Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of low pressure near the west-central
coast of Florida is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. This system is expected to move
northeastward across Florida tonight and offshore of the U.S.
southeastern coast by late Wed. As a result, unsettled weather
in the form of numerous showers and thunderstorms with gusty
winds will persist over the east-central and southeastern Gulf
waters through Fri night as a trough lingers over the eastern
Gulf. Hazy conditions due to agricultural fires over Mexico will
continue to affect the western Gulf reducing visibility to
around 3 nm at times through at least the next couple of days.

.OVERNIGHT....SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Winds and
seas higher in and near numerous showers and thunderstorms.
.WED...S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Numerous showers and
thunderstorms.
.WED NIGHT...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. Numerous
showers and thunderstorms.
.THU...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft. Numerous
showers and thunderstorms.
.THU NIGHT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft.
.FRI...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
.FRI NIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt, becoming SE to S 20 to 25 kt
late. Seas 4 to 6 ft, building to 6 to 8 ft late.
.SAT...SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft.
.SAT NIGHT...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft.

swell.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Unsettled weather in the form of numerous showers
and thunderstorms, with locally gusty winds and higher seas,
are over most of the western part of the forecast waters as a
stationary front extends from northern Florida eastward along
31N to near 75W while low pressure near the west-central Florida
coast sends additional showers and thunderstorms east-northeastward
toward the Florida east coast, and to the offshore waters around
the NW Bahamas and northward from there. This activity is being
further supported by upper-level disturbances moving from W to E.
Expect for little change with this activity into the end of the
week as the low pressure is expected to move northeastward across
Florida tonight and offshore of the U.S. southeastern coast by
late Wed. Although upper-level winds are expected to be only
marginally conducive, some slow development is possible while the
system moves offshore of the U.S. southeastern coast. A trough may
linger from near the NW Bahamas to near 31N75W from mid-week
through Fri night. Fresh to strong southerly winds are expected
over the western Atlantic ahead of this system during the next
couple of days.

20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft S of 27N, and 4 to 6 ft N of
27N. Winds and seas higher in and near scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms.
.WED...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and S to SW 15 to
20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms.

15 to 20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft. Scattered showers and
