Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing moderate
to locally fresh SE winds over the western Gulf, and mainly gentle
to moderate E to SE winds over the eastern part of the basin. The
pressure gradient between the ridge and lower pressures in Texas
and Mexico will support fresh to occasionally strong winds in the
western half of the Gulf Wed night into the weekend. Moderate or
weaker winds will prevail in the eastern half of the Gulf. Winds
will pulse to strong speeds nightly near and to the NW of the
Yucatan Peninsula due to local effects induced by a thermal
trough.

evening, subsiding to 2 ft or less.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A 1022 mb high pressure system located between
Bermuda and the Bahamas dominates the SW N Atlantic. Moderate to
fresh W winds and long period northerly swell with peak seas near
12 ft are affecting the waters N of 29N and E of 65W. These
marine conditions will slide eastward as a cold front reaches the
NE waters later today. Moderate to fresh easterly winds will
continue over the waters S of 24N and W of 60W through Wed,
especially in the approaches of the Windward Passage. More
tranquil marine conditions are expected afterwards as high
pressure becomes centered over the NW waters.

.THIS AFTERNOON...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt S of 27N, and SE 10 to 15 kt
