Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A dissipating stationary front extending from the
Straits of Florida through 23N89W to the SW Gulf will wash out
today. A trough offshore of Veracruz will dissipate later today.

supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds in the NE half of the
Gulf, and moderate to fresh winds in the SW half of the Gulf
through Thu. The pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf by
the end of the week, increasing winds to fresh to strong across
the basin. Seas will build as a result. Meanwhile, fresh to
strong winds will pulse NW of the Yucatan during the evenings.

Florida. A line of showers and thunderstorms is observed within
120 nm ahead of the frontal boundary, mainly N of 27N.
Associated fresh to strong winds N of 29N on either side of the
front will lift N of the area by the afternoon. Associated seas
of 8 ft or greater behind the front will subside by Wed evening.
The front will reach from 31N64W to the SE Bahamas this evening
while weakening, then will become a dissipating stationary front
from 31N59W to 21N76W Wed evening, then becoming a remnant
