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 into the
weekend. 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.

.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Haze.
Scattered showers and chance of tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal trough extends from 29N55W to 1011 mb low
pres near 29N59.5W 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
ahead of the trough. The feature will also 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 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 will move
into the far NW waters Sat and stall there Sun.
