Southeast Gulf of America



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to retreat

eastward Sat evening in response to a cold front that will be

approaching the Texas coast. The cold front will reach from the

southeastern United States to the central Gulf and to the west-

central Gulf Sun, then stall from S Florida to the central Gulf and

to the west-central Gulf from early next week into the mid-week. Low

pressure may develop along the western part of the front during the

weekend. Strong northeast winds are expected across portions of the

northern and western Gulf behind the front along with rough seas.

Moderate to fresh southeast winds will precede the front, except in

the Straits of Florida, where locally strong east winds will

prevail.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure located

well north of the area and relatively lower pressure to the

south is allowing for generally strong northeast to east winds

along with rough seas over much of the waters S of 26N. These

conditions will gradually diminish through the weekend as the high

weakens while shifting eastward. An inverted surface trough is

forecast to develop from Hispaniola northward into the open

Atlantic by Sun night allowing for winds to weaken further. A cold

front is expected to emerge off the southeastern United States

coast early on Mon, then slowly move southeastward reaching from

near 31N70W to South Florida by Tue morning. Strong to near gale-

force winds northeast winds and seas building to a rough state are

expected behind this front.
