Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge across the Gulf region is allowing for
gentle to moderate E to SE winds across the eastern Gulf, and
moderate to fresh SE winds over the western Gulf. The pressure
gradient will tighten over the Gulf beginning tonight resulting
in increasing east to southeast fresh to strong winds over just
about the entire basin through Sun night. Seas will build to
10 ft in the NW Gulf on Sun. Meanwhile, winds will pulse to
fresh to strong speeds near the Yucatan Peninsula each evening
through the forecast period.  

.TODAY...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft. 
.TONIGHT...E winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front that is presently northwest of the area
will merge with a frontal trough that extends from 31N61W to
24N66W and to the eastern Dominican Republic late tonight. The 
cold front will reach from near 31N58W to 26N65W to eastern Cuba
by Sat morning, and from near 25N55W to Hispaniola by Sun morning,
then stall and weaken into a trough over the far southeastern 
part late Sun through Mon night. North swell behind the front will
build seas to a peak of about 11 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 late Fri through Sun. By late Sun, these 
winds are expected to be at mainly fresh speeds south of 29N and 
west of 60W. At that time, fresh to strong west to northwest winds
are expected over the far northeast forecast waters along with 
building seas. Rather tranquil conditions are expected Tue and Tue
night as high pressure becomes centered over the NW part of the 
offshore waters, with the induced gradient supporting fresh to 
locally strong northeast to east winds over the southern waters.
