Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to shift
east-southeastward starting Sun. Moderate to fresh east to
southeast winds over the western Gulf, and gentle to moderate
southeast to south winds elsewhere are expected to continue
through the weekend, except for winds becoming light and
variable over most of the eastern Gulf through early next week.
A cold front will move across the NE Gulf from late Tue through
Wed night, followed by gentle to moderate west to northwest
winds. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near the northern and
western Yucatan Peninsula during the late afternoons and at
night through the period. Hazy conditions due to agricultural
fires in Mexico continue across most of the western Gulf and Bay
of Campeche.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from near 28N63W west-southwestward
to weak low pressure of 1012 mb near 25N71W. Another trough
extends from the low southwestward to the southeastern  Bahamas
and to eastern Cuba near 20N78W. Scattered to numerous showers
and thunderstorms are presently north of 18N between 61W and 66W
and from 24N to 30N between 66W and 72W. Regarding the low,
although environmental conditions are not conducive, some slight
subtropical or tropical development is possible over the next
couple of days while the system moves generally northeastward.
Otherwise, relatively weak high pressure will remain over the
region for the next few days. The associated gradient will support
moderate winds and seas are possible north of the Bahamas and off
northeast Florida by Mon night as the high pressure shifts
eastward ahead of a cold front that is expected to move off the
southeastern U.S. coast Mon night, move across the waters east of
northern Florida early on Tue, reach from near 31N79W to east-
central Florida early on Wed and from near 31N78W to 29N79W and
stationary to east-central Florida Wed night.
