Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...Relatively weak high pressure extends from the
western Atlantic westward over the eastern and central Gulf. The
high pressure will shift southeastward through Sun as a mostly
dry cold front moves across the northern Gulf waters. Fresh to
locally strong southeast to south winds are expected to develop
offshore of Texas and eastern Mexico Sun night into Mon
afternoon before becoming mostly fresh south to southwest winds
across the central and western Gulf through late Mon night as
another weak cold front moves off the Texas coast. The front
will continue to weaken as it reaches from the NE Gulf to the
central Gulf by Wed. A stronger cold front is forecast to move
off the Texas coast late Tue night, and reach from the near the
western Florida panhandle to the west-central Gulf by late Wed.
Fresh northeast winds are expected behind this front. Otherwise,
moderate to occasionally fresh northeast to east winds are
expected each afternoon and evening in the Bay of Campeche and
north of the Yucatan Peninsula as a diurnal trough develops and
moves westward over the region. Moderate or weaker winds and
slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere through much of
this weekend.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Locally fresh northeast winds are expected over the
southern Bahamas and through the Windward Passage through Sat
morning as low pressure prevails in the south-central Caribbean.
Farther north, moderate to fresh southwest to west winds will
occur offshore of northern Florida by Sat morning, with winds
expanding farther east into the central Atlantic through Sun
morning, ahead of a cold front pushing off the east coast of the
United States. The cold front is forecast to move southeastward
along the Florida Peninsula and into the northwestern waters this
weekend into early next week, with moderate to fresh north to
northeast winds and building seas expected in the wake of the
front. Looking ahead, widespread moderate to fresh trade winds
will occur over much of the western Atlantic by midweek as high
pressure builds off the coast of the eastern U.S.
