Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the
SE United States and low pressure over Mexico will support fresh
to locally strong winds over the W half of the basin. Gentle to
moderate winds will prevail elsewhere. Winds will weaken across
the basin Thu as the next front approaches. The front will reach
across the western zones Thu night, from SE Louisiana to
Veracruz, Mexico by early Fri, from the western Florida
Panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by early Sat, then from
the Florida Big Bend to the Yucatan Peninsula early Sun. Smoke
from agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is creating hazy
conditions in some sections of the western Gulf, with the lowest
reported visibility near the SW Gulf coast.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between a low centered near
26N64.5W with associated trough and high pressure centered over
the central Atlantic is supporting fresh to locally strong
northeast winds and moderate to rough seas north and northeast
of the low. These conditions will gradually shift westward
through mid-week as the low and trough drift westward. Winds and
seas will start to decrease Wed night as the low and trough start
to weaken. A stationary front along and just offshore the
southeastern U.S. coast will gradually lift back northwest as warm
front through mid-week, then may slowly push offshore again at
the end of the week and into the upcoming weekend.
