Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from extreme southern Florida
to just along the northwest part of the Yucatan Peninsula and to
the eastern Bay of Campeche will stall from the Straits of
Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula Tue. Gale force winds offshore
Veracruz will diminish late tonight. The resultant very rough
seas will gradually subside Tue. Fresh to strong north to
northeast winds elsewhere behind the front over most of the
basin will diminish to moderate to fresh speeds over the SE and
south- central Gulf waters on Tue, with light to gentle winds
expected over the remainder of the Gulf. Seas will also subside
on Tue as the front stalls near the Yucatan Peninsula and
eventually dissipates around midweek. Looking ahead, weak high
pressure will build over the basin later this week, supporting
gentle to moderate winds and slight seas.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from near Bermuda to the
central Bahamas will continue eastward through late Tue night,
preceded by fresh to strong southwest winds north of 27N through
Tue. Rough seas in west swell east of 73W will continue to expand
toward the central Atlantic into early Tue as very rough seas
over 12 ft will be possible north of 30N and east of 64W by Tue
morning. A second and stronger cold front extending from near
31N73W to the NW Bahamas and to South Florida will quickly shift
eastward through Tue night overtaking the first front. The front
will be followed by fresh to strong northwest winds, north of
about 26N and west of 68W into late tonight. A new set of north
swell will support rough seas over the northwest tropical Atlantic
by late tonight, before merging with the aforementioned rough
seas in the central basin on Tue. Winds will diminish from west to
east through Tue night, with rough seas slowly subsiding through
late week. 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.
