Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak front extends from the Florida Panhandle near
Apalachicola southwestward to near 26N93W. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are north of 26N and east of 89W, and are being
supported by a mid to upper-level trough across the southeast
U.S. The front and associated weather will shift E-SE through
Mon, when the front will dissipate across the SE Gulf. Ahead of
the front, moderate to fresh return flow will prevail this
morning then gradually diminish through Mon. Meanwhile, a large
area of haze and smoke due to agricultural fires in Mexico
continues across most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche.
Moderate to locally fresh SE return flow will develop again
across the W Gulf Tue through Thu night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weak frontal trough extends from 31N56W
southwestward to 26N69W, while a narrow high pressure ridge
extends E to W to  the south of the trough along 24N/25N and
into the NW Bahamas. The trough will shift eastward through late
Sun as it weakens  further, allowing the ridge to build modestly
into the region E of 72W Mon and Tue. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms will move from  the NW waters southeastward
through this evening, ahead of an  upper level trough. Behind
this feature, a new front will sink  southward into the waters
offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and move
southeastward and stall from near 31N72W to SE  Florida late
Tue. A trough will develop southeast of the weakening front and
extend into the central Bahamas early on Wed, and drift eastward
through Thu night. Low pressure is expected to form  along the
trough near 24N68W Thu evening and move NE.
