Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from just inland
northern Florida westward to southeastern Louisiana will linger
through the weekend, then shift southward some as a cold front
early next week as low pressure develops along it and tracks
northeastward to east of the southeastern U.S. coast. The front
will help maintain unsettled weather conditions, with locally
hazardous winds and seas mainly along and just offshore the
northern Gulf coast through the weekend. Some of these
conditions may spread southward some over the offshore waters.
The weak gradient in place will maintain mainly gentle to
moderate winds and slight to locally moderate seas through the
period.

.TODAY...S to SW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SW to W in the
afternoon. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated
tstms.
.TONIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to E to SE after
midnight. Seas 2 ft or less.
.SUN...SW winds less than 5 kt, shifting to W to NW in the
afternoon. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated
tstms.
.SUN NIGHT...N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON...NW winds less than 5 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON NIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TUE...W winds less than 5 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TUE NIGHT...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SW to W after
midnight. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED...SW to W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED NIGHT...W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 31N71W to  NE
Florida. The combination of this feature with an upper level
trough passing east of NE Florida is resulting in scattered to
numerous showers west of 75W. Low pressure is expected to form
along the front west of the area and track ENE to offshore the
southeastern United States tonight through Mon. As this happens,
 the stationary front will transition to a cold front that will
slowly sink southward through late Mon. Behind it, strengthening
 high pressure will surge southward along the southeastern U.S.
coast increasing the gradient behind the front leading to fresh
to locally strong NE-E winds N of 29N and W of 79W Sun night
into Tue. Expect for the scattered showers and thunderstorms to
continue through the weekend, except into early next week for
the northwest portion of the area. Elsewhere, high pressure will
remain in control of the general weather pattern providing for a
gentle to moderate anticyclonic wind flow.

.TODAY...S to SW winds less than 5 kt S of 27N, and S 5 to 10 kt
N of 27N. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated
tstms.
.TONIGHT...S to SW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered
showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN NIGHT...W winds 5 to 10 kt S of 27N, and NW 10 to 15 kt N of
27N. Seas 2 ft or less.

.MON NIGHT...NW to N winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to S to SW 5 to
10 kt after midnight. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
