Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between weak high pressure
over Florida and the eastern Gulf, and relatively lower
pressures over the rest of the Gulf and in Mexico will support
mostly fresh southeast winds over the western and central Gulf
through the forecast period. Fresh to strong winds will pulse at
night for the next few days near the northern and western
Yucatan Peninsula due to local effects induced by 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 fresh east winds to be south
of about 25N, including the approaches to the Windward Passage.
A surface trough is expected to soon form north-northeast of
Hispaniola. The pressure gradient between the ridge and the
trough will support pulsing strong 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 soon to form surface trough on Fri.
The low will track east-northeastward Fri through Sat, and
weaken back into a trough while exiting the area on Sun. High
pressure will then take precedence over the entire area early
next week. Moderate to fresh south winds are forecast to develop
over the waters east of northeastern Florida Tue and Tue night.
