Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from South Florida to 23N87W
and to near 21N96W will exit the Gulf this morning. Fresh to
strong winds and rough seas behind the front will continue

the NW Gulf near the Texas coast on Thu, then track
east-northeast toward the NE Gulf by Fri pushing a cold front
across the basin. The low is expected to move inland northern
Florida late on Fri. This next frontal system will bring
increasing winds and seas to the affected waters, as well as
widespread showers and thunderstorms.

swell. Isolated showers.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from 31N72W to South Florida
will reach from near 31N70W to the Straits of Florida this
morning, from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas early this
afternoon, then weaken as it reaches from near 31N56W to eastern
Cuba by Wed morning. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are
ahead and behind the front, with gale force winds over the waters
north of 27N. The gale force winds behind the front end this
morning while those east of the front end late this afternoon.
Weak low pressure may form along the front near 30N56W on Thu
morning, with the front reaching northern Hispaniola. High
pressure in its wake will quickly shift eastward through Fri
night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop
over the western half of the forecast waters as low pressure
tracks northeastward from the Gulf of Mexico to over northern
Florida, and to north of the area Sat and Sat night. These winds
will expand in coverage as they shift eastward ahead of a cold
front that will trail from the low over the western waters.
