Southeast Gulf of America



.SYNOPSIS...A broad surface ridge extending across the basin

will prevail through today. The pressure gradient between the

ridge and lower pressures over Mexico will support mainly

moderate to fresh E to SE winds basin-wide, pulsing to fresh and

strong near the northern Yucatan and the western Gulf in the

early morning and evening, with slightly weaker winds overall in

the northeastern Gulf. Seas will be slight to moderate today. A

cold front will impact the NW Gulf beginning tonight, before

moving across the basin through Thu night, stalling and

dissipating over the SE Gulf Fri and Fri night. In the wake of

the front, winds will increase to fresh to near gale-force

speeds, and seas will build to 8 to 11 ft through Thu night,

with conditions improving thereafter as ridging gradually

rebuilds across the basin. Another cold front may approach early

next week.



.TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.

.TONIGHT...SE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh easterly winds will prevail S of

25N through this evening, locally strong N of Hispaniola into

the Windward Passage. Moderate or weaker winds can be expected

elsewhere across the region today. Southerly fresh to strong

winds will develop off northern Florida tonight ahead of a cold

front. That front will move offshore by Thu evening with fresh

to near gale-force winds and building seas behind it, weakening

and slowing from near Bermuda to the northern Bahamas by Fri.

High pressure ridging will prevail across the basin for the end of

the week into the weekend along with moderate to fresh trades,

then will strengthen by the end of the weekend, leading to fresh

to locally strong winds basin-wide, and rough seas over the SE

waters.

10 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 ft.
