Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front has moved SE into the NW Caribbean,
while a reinforcing secondary front extends from SW Florida to
the northern Yucatan. The second front will also move SE of the
basin overnight. Fresh to strong northerly winds will prevail E
of 90W through morning before diminishing. High pressure in the
wake of the front will quickly shift eastward Sun night,
allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the
western Gulf Sun, ahead of the next cold front. Strong southerly
winds will then shift to the central and eastern Gulf early Mon
through Mon night as the new cold front enters the western Gulf
early Mon night. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly expected
Tue behind the front over the W and SW Gulf. The front will slow
and weaken mid- week from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz,
Mexico.

W of 70W will shift slowly eastward through Sun, ahead of a cold
 front that currently extends from 31N75W to Cuba near 23N80W.
Strong thunderstorms with frequent gusts to gale-force and
frequent lightning are expected along the front across the
Bahamas and northeastward through morning. The front will reach

considerably as it moves SE across the Atlantic and adjacent NE
Caribbean waters through Tue night. Strong to near gale-force NE
 winds and large NE to N swell will follow the front early Sun
through Mon. Low pressure will develop NW of Bermuda Tue and
move SE and weaken across the area waters through Thu. Large NE
swell will spread across the regional waters early Tue through
Wed.
