Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A dissipating stationary front extends from near
Apalachicola, Florida southwestward to near 28N90W. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms are between a line from 29N83W to
26N89W to 24N94W and a line from 27N82W to 25N87W to 23N88W.
This activity is being supported by a mid to upper-level trough
that extends from the southeastern to the central Gulf. The
front and associated weather will shift E to SE through Mon,
when the front will dissipate across the SE Gulf. Ahead of the
front, moderate to fresh return flow will prevail this morning
then gradually diminish through Mon. Meanwhile, hazy conditions
due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across most of the
western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. Moderate to locally fresh SE
return flow will develop again across the W Gulf Tue through Thu
night.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A weak frontal trough extends from 31N55W 
southwestward to 27N60W and to 26N67W, while a narrow high 
pressure ridge extends E to W to the south of the trough along 
24N/25N and into the NW Bahamas. The trough will shift eastward 
through this afternoon as it weakens further, allowing the ridge
to build modestly into the region E of 72W Mon and Tue. Scattered
showers and thunderstorms will move from the NW waters 
southeastward through this evening, ahead of an upper-level 
trough. Behind this feature, a new front will sink southward into 
the waters offshore of Georgia and NE Florida early Mon, and move 
southeastward and stall from near 31N72W to SE Florida late Tue. A
trough will develop southeast of the weakening front and extend 
into the central Bahamas early on Wed, and drift eastward through 
Thu night. Low pressure is expected to form along the trough near 
24N68W Thu evening and move NE.
