Southeast Gulf of America



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will prevail across the Gulf region,

with a relatively weak pressure gradient across the area. This

will result in gentle to moderate SE winds and moderate seas

basin-wide through the weekend into the early part of next week.

The exception will be off the Yucatan Peninsula, where a diurnal

trough will pulse moderate winds to fresh during the evenings.

Meanwhile, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and higher seas are

likely in an area of showers and thunderstorms currently located

over the far SE Gulf and the Florida Straits, which is moving

eastward tonight.

showers and scattered tstms.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near 31N41W to 25N50W

where it becomes a stationary front to Hispaniola near 19N69W.

The front will remain nearly stationary just N of Hispaniola and

Puerto Rico on Fri. The remnant moisture associated with the

frontal boundary will lift northward as a trough Sat through Sun.

A weak low may develop along the trough axis E of the Bahamas on

Sun. This will support gentle to moderate winds with slight to

moderate seas across most of the forecast area through the

weekend. The exception will be over the NE waters where fresh to

locally strong westerly winds and rough seas are expected

beginning on Fri as another cold front clips the region by late

Sat into Sun.
