Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure dominates the area. 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.

.OVERNIGHT...E to SE winds 5 to 10 kt after midnight. Seas 2 ft
or less.
.SAT...S winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SW to W in the afternoon.
Seas 2 ft or less.
.SAT NIGHT...NW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to E to SE after
midnight. Seas 2 ft or less.
.SUN...SW to W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.SUN NIGHT...N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON NIGHT...NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TUE...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TUE NIGHT...SW to W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.WED NIGHT...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near 31N73W to
30N77W, to inland northern Florida and continuing well west from
there. The combination of this feature with an upper level
trough passing east of NE Florida is resulting in scattered to
numerous showers across most of the western half of the offshore
waters. Low pressure is expected to form along the front west of
the area and track ENE to offshore the southeastern United
States Sat night 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
northeast to east winds N of 29N and W of 79W Mon 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.

.OVERNIGHT...SE winds 5 to 10 kt after midnight. Seas 2 ft or
less. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
.SAT...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers
and isolated tstms.
.SAT NIGHT...S of 27N, W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE
to S after midnight. N of 27N, S to SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas
2 ft or less. Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
.SUN...W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less. Scattered showers
and isolated tstms.
.SUN NIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.MON...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 ft.
.MON NIGHT...NE winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to S after midnight.
Seas 3 to 4 ft.
