reach from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche by Sun
morning, and move E of the Gulf Mon morning. Near-gale force
southerly winds will likely develop ahead of the front Sat and
off Veracruz Sun. Looking ahead, high pressure will settle over
the basin Mon through mid week.

.OVERNIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt after midnight. Seas 2 ft or
less, building to 3 ft after midnight.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is analyzed from 31N33W to 24N45W, then
transitions to stationary from that point to 19N65W. Moderate to
fresh NE to E winds and rough seas to 9 ft are ongoing N of the
front between 55W and 62W. The tail end of the front will lift N
through the weekend while weakening. High pressure over the NW
Atlantic will build while it shifts SE to the central Atlantic
waters through early next week. The pressure gradient between the
associated ridge and the remnants of the aforementioned front will
lead to the development of fresh to strong winds north of 22N and
E of the Bahamas this weekend. These winds will support building
rough seas across E of the Bahamas. Looking ahead, a strong cold
front will push off the SE United States coast early Mon preceded
and followed by fresh to near-gale force winds. The front will
reach from 31N68W to the Turks and Caicos and eastern Cuba Tue
morning, and from Bermuda to Puerto Rico Wed morning.
