Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the western
Florida panhandle to inland Mexico just north of Tampico will
transition back to a cold front and move southeastward across
the basin, reaching from near Tampa Bay, Florida to S Texas
early Sat. The front will stall again from the Straits of
Florida to S Texas on Sun, then gradually weaken with its
remnants lifting back N as a warm front through Sun night.
Moderate to locally fresh northeast winds will follow the front
into Sat evening. Moderate to fresh return flow will dominate
for the start of next week, with another front or trough
possibly impacting the western Gulf by Tue. Meanwhile, haze due
to agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico continues across
most of the western Gulf. Fresh to strong winds will pulse near
the Yucatan Peninsula each evening starting Sat. East winds at
fresh speeds are expected to develop in the NW Gulf Wed and Wed
night and in the far south-central Gulf near and in the Yucatan
Channel.

5 kt N of 24N. Seas 3 to 4 ft.

evening. N of 24N, variable winds less than 5 kt. Seas 3 ft or
less.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weak trough extends from 30N58W to low pressure
of 1014 mb near 25N59W and continues to 19N60W. A few showers
are near these features. These features will have little impact
on marine conditions as they lift northward while gradually
dissipating early on Sat. Otherwise, weak high pressure over the
area will continue to retreat eastward as a cold front moves off
the southeastern United States tonight, reaches from 31N74W  to
near West Palm Beach, Florida early Sat, then from just
southeast of Bermuda to the Straits of Florida early Sun. Fresh
to strong winds will be ahead of the front through Sat evening,
with moderate to fresh winds behind the front. Seas to around 8
ft are expected with the fresh to strong winds. The front is
expected to weaken and slow down as it reached from 31N59W to
the southeastern Bahamas early Mon, then from 29N55W to 23N65W
early Tue as high pressure builds in the wake of the front.
Another  front may move over the waters east of northeast
Florida around mid-week. Ahead of this possible next front, fresh
to locally strong southerly winds are expected over the northwest
part pf the area starting late Mon.
