Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail across the Gulf waters
through the middle of the week. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will persist over the western Gulf through Mon before
diminishing briefly. A weak cold front will move off the coast
of Texas Mon night into Tue, extend along the northern Gulf
through Wed, then lift N ahead of another cold front forecast to
enter the Gulf waters late on Thu. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds will once again develop over the western Gulf on Wed ahead
of the second front, which will reach from N Florida to near
Tampico, Mexico Fri morning, and from the Straits of Florida to
near Veracruz, Mexico Fri night. The front will exit the basin
on Sat. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will
follow this front. Winds may briefly reach minimal gale force
near the Veracruz area on Fri.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N45W to the Windward
Passage will move across the SE waters through Mon when it is
forecast to stall along 22N/23N. Fresh to strong W to NW winds
and rough to very rough seas will follow the front N of 29N.
These marine conditions will gradually shift eastward on Mon. A
trough or low pressure will develop near the Turks and Caicos
Islands early on Tue. The pressure gradient between the trough and
high pressure to the W will support fresh to strong winds and
moderate to rough seas across the waters S of 25N and W of the
trough axis to the coast of eastern Cuba, including the SE
Bahamas. Then, the trough/low will stall in the SE Bahamas
offshore waters trough Wed, with winds and seas diminishing. The
next cold front will enter the NE Florida offshore waters Tue
night before stalling and lifting N of the area late Wed. A
stronger cold front is forecast to move to the NE Florida offshore
waters Thu night into Fri. Fresh to strong winds and building
seas are expected on either side of the front.
