Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging over the area is supporting fresh to
strong southeast winds over the western Gulf, and moderate to
fresh SE winds elsewhere. The pressure gradient will continue to
tighten resulting in increasing southeast fresh to strong winds
over the entire basin through Sun night. Seas are expected to
peak to 11 ft in the NW Gulf Sat night and Sun. Meanwhile, winds
will pulse to fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula
each evening through the forecast period.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front that is presently along 30N and W of
70W will merge with a frontal trough that extends from 31N62W to 
the eastern Dominican Republic tonight. The front will reach from 
near 31N58W to eastern Cuba by Sat morning, and from near 25N55W 
to Hispaniola by Sun morning, then stall and weaken over the far 
southeastern part late Sun through Mon night. North swell behind 
the front will build seas to a peak of 12 ft over northeast 
offshore waters by Sun. Strengthening high pressure in the wake of
the front will result in fresh to strong north to northeast winds
behind the front from tonight through Sun. By late Sun, fresh 
winds will prevail in the wake of the weakening front and continue
through Mon. Tranquil conditions are expected Tue as high 
pressure becomes centered over the NW part of the offshore waters,
with the induced gradient supporting fresh northeast to east 
winds over the southern waters.
