Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over south-central U.S. will continue forcing
fresh to near-gale SE winds across the basin today. The moist SE
flow may allow areas of sea fog to persist across the northern
Gulf into this morning. A strong late-season cold front will
emerge off of the Texas coast tonight. Fresh to near gale N
winds and rapidly building seas will follow the front over the
western Gulf Sun and Mon, with northerly gales forecast near
Tampico on Sun morning, and off Veracruz Sun afternoon. The cold
front will extend from the Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay
of Campeche Mon followed by fresh to strong N winds. The front
will weaken as it moves southeast of the area Tue followed by
weak high pressure over the northern Gulf. Winds and seas will
diminish accordingly through Tue night in all but the far
southeast Gulf where fresh winds and rough seas may persist.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A Bermuda High will continue to force fresh to
strong trades and resultant rough seas from offshore of the
northern portion of the Greater Antilles through the Bahamas and
Straits of Florida through tonight. A frontal trough will rotate
through the NE waters today and tonight, bringing fresh to strong
winds through tonight. At the same time, a large N swell will
start impacting the waters east of 62W tonight and will subside by
mid-week. Fresh to strong S winds will develop off the coast of
northeast Florida tonight and Mon ahead of a cold front moving
through the southeastern United States. The front is forecast to
move off of the coast Mon night, and reach from Bermuda to eastern
Cuba by mid-week where it may stall and become a trough. This
front will be followed by fresh to strong NE winds and moderate to
rough seas.
