Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the Straits of Florida
to the Yucatan Peninsula will stall today. Strong to near
gale-force winds offshore Veracruz will diminish during the
morning late tonight. Fresh to strong north to northeast winds
elsewhere northwest of the front to a line from 29N91W to 26N95W
and to 20N96W will diminish today, with moderate to fresh north
to northeast winds remaining over the southeast, south-central
and eastern Bay of Campeche zones. These winds will diminish
late tonight into early Wed as the front weakens further, and at
which time light to gentle winds are expected over most of the
basin. Seas throughout will subside today. Weak high pressure
will slide eastward across the northern Gulf later this week in
the wake of a cold front that will be clipping the northern
Gulf. Light to gentle winds will be near the high while gentle
to moderate winds will be elsewhere over the Gulf. Slight seas
are expected for the remainder of the period after today.

.TODAY...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt S of 24N, and NE 15 to 20 kt N
of 24N. Seas 6 to 8 ft in NW to N swell. Scattered showers and
isolated thunderstorms Straits of Florida.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from near 31N64W to 26N71W
and to 25N76W will weaken as it reaches from near 31N60W to
27N68W, stationary front to the central Bahamas and Straits of
Florida by early tonight. The front is currently preceded by fresh
to near gale southwest winds north of 27N through Tue. Rough seas
in west swell east of 68W will be reinforced by additional large
northwest swell today through late tonight following in behind a
stronger cold front that will quickly move eastward overtaking the
first front tonight. This next front is followed today by fresh
to strong northwest winds north of about 28N between 67W and 80W.
By late this afternoon these winds are expected to be north of 29N
between 60W and 66W before shifting northeast of the area late
tonight as the front begins to stall. The northwest swell
gradually subside Wed and Wed night as it shifts to the NE
forecast waters. At that same time rough seas in long period east
swell will begin to move into the southeast forecast waters and
linger through the remainder of the forecast period. Looking
ahead, fresh to locally strong southwest winds and rough seas may
develop offshore northern Florida starting Wed as a low pressure
system moves off the east coast of the U.S. Its associated cold
front should move across the waters east of Florida from Wed night
through the end of the weak as it weakens, and eventually
stalling over the NE offshore zones Sat and dissipate Sat night.
Fresh west to northwest winds will follow the front through late
Thu.
