Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1020 mb centered over the NE Gulf
near 29N87W is allowing for light to gentle winds over that part
of the Gulf through Thu, and for moderate to fresh southeast
winds over most of the western part of the Gulf also through
Thu. The pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf starting
Thu night resulting in increasing east to southeast fresh to
strong winds over just about the entire basin through Sun night.
Seas will build to 10 ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds
will pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula
each evening through the period.

.OVERNIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
.THU...E winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
.THU NIGHT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft.
.FRI...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft.
.FRI NIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft. Isolated
showers.
.SAT...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft in E swell.
.SAT NIGHT...E to SE winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft.
.SUN...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft in E swell.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front extends from 31N57W to 25N67W
and to near 22N76W. The front will stall and gradually weaken to
a dissipating trough early Thu. Northwest to north swell near the
front will subside late tonight. Fairly tranquil conditions are
forecast Thu and Thu night. Looking ahead, a new cold front is
forecast to merge with the trough and progress eastward, reaching
from near 31N57W to eastern Cuba early Sat morning, from near
25N55W to Hispaniola early Sun, then stall and weaken into a
trough over the far southeastern part late Sun through Mon night.
North swell behind this next front will build seas over most of
the area northeast of the Bahamas by Sun. Strengthening high
pressure in the wake of the front will result in fresh to strong
north to northeast winds behind the front from late Fri through
Sun. By late Sun, these winds are expected to be at mainly fresh
speeds south of 29N and west f 60W. At that time, fresh to strong
west to northwest winds are expected over the far northeast
forecast along with building sea.

.OVERNIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and E to SE 5 to
10 kt N of 27N except N of 29N S to SW winds 10 kt. Seas 4 to 6
ft, except in NE to E swell N of 27N.
.THU...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and E 5 to 10 kt N of
27N. Seas 4 to 6 ft S of 29N in NE to E swell, and 3 to 5 ft in
NE to E swell N of 29N.
.THU NIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and E 10 to
15 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
