Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...In the wake of a recent cold front, strong high is
building across the southeastern U.S. and Gulf. The high pressure
will shift eastward Sat and Sat night. Broad low pressure is
expected to develop over the NW Gulf on Sun and Sun night. The low
will track eastward across toward South Florida during Mon. A
cold front will trail from the low as it moves across the basin.
Fresh to strong winds are expected around the low pressure while
moderate to fresh winds are expected behind the boundary. This
system is expected to also be attendant by adverse to hazardous
marine conditions. Weak high pressure will settle over the
central Gulf Tue and Tue night in the wake of this system
allowing for rather tranquil marine conditions across the basin.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N59W southwestward
to 25N73W and to central Cuba. The front will reach from near
31N55W to 26N65W to east-central Cuba early this evening, then
weaken as it reaches from near 26N55W to 24N60W and as a
stationary front to Haiti Sat night before dissipating. Strong
high pressure in the wake of the front will lead to fresh to
strong northeast winds south of about 25N and west of the front,
including the Straits of Florida tonight into Sat night.
Conditions improve Sun into early Mon. Later during Mon, broad low
pressure from the Gulf will quickly approach South Florida, and
track NE to north 31N by late Tue night with a trailing cold front
across the western part of the area. Fresh to near gale strong
southwest winds are expected ahead of the low pressure and cold
front along with building seas. By late Wed night, fresh to strong
southerly winds will be confined to the NE part of the area.
