Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure centered
over Florida and lower pressures in the western Gulf will
support moderate to fresh winds over much of the Gulf of Mexico
well into next week. Fresh to locally strong winds will pulse at
night for the next few days near the northern and western
Yucatan Peninsula due to a thermal trough.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...The gradient between high pressure over the western
Atlantic and relatively lower pressure in the Caribbean Sea is
allowing for generally moderate to locally fresh east winds to
be south of about 25N. A surface trough has formed
north-northeast  of Hispaniola. The pressure gradient between
the ridge and the  trough will support pulsing fresh east to
southeast east of the  trough, and moderate to fresh northeast
to east winds west of the  trough. Presently, an upper trough is
over the western Atlantic.  Numerous showers and thunderstorms
are east of this trough. The  trough is expected to help promote
the formation of weak low  pressure along the surface trough
later today. The low will track east- northeastward through Sat,
then dissipate along the trough  while exiting the area on Sun.

.TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less.
.TONIGHT...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 2 ft or less, building to
3 ft after midnight.
