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.

.TONIGHT...E winds 10 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Winds and
seas higher in and near scattered showers and thunderstorms.
.SAT...SE to S winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming variable less
than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms.
.SAT NIGHT...S of 24N, N to NE winds 10 kt, shifting to E late. N
of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or
less. Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
.SUN...S of 24N, SE to S winds 10 kt in the morning, becoming
variable less than 5 kt. N of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt.
Seas 3 ft or less. Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
.SUN NIGHT...NW to N winds 10 kt in the evening, becoming
variable less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less.
.MON...Variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less.
.MON NIGHT...Variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or less.
.TUE...S of 24N, variable less than 5 kt. Variable winds less
than 5 kt in the morning. N of 24N, W winds 10 kt in the
afternoon. Seas 3 ft or less.
.TUE NIGHT...Variable winds less than 5 kt S of 24N, and W 10 kt
N of 24N. Seas 3 ft or less.
.WED...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft.
.WED NIGHT...S of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt, becoming S
to SW 10 kt late. N of 24N, SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt.
Seas 3 to 5 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.

.TONIGHT...NE to E winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE after
midnight. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms.
.SAT...S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms.
.SAT NIGHT...S of 27N, W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE
to S late. N of 27N, S to SW winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms.
.SUN...W winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 2 to 4 ft. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms.
.SUN NIGHT...NW to N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
.MON...W to NW winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
.MON NIGHT...NE winds 5 to 10 kt, shifting to SE to S after
midnight. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
