Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad high pressure ridge extends from the western
Atlantic into the southeastern U.S. The pressure gradient
between this ridge and troughs over Mexico and the northwest
Caribbean are supporting fresh to strong winds and moderate seas 
across most of the Gulf region. Looking ahead, Potential Tropical 
Cyclone Eighteen is becoming better organized in the southwest 
Caribbean, and may move across western Cuba into the southeastern 
Gulf by Tue night or Wed morning as a strong tropical storm or 
hurricane, then move into the north-central Gulf Fri. Marine 
interests in the eastern Gulf should continue to monitor the 
latest advisories from National Hurricane Center on the 
development and track of Eighteen.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A trough extends from central Hispaniola to 23N68W.
The pressure gradient between the trough and strong high
pressure north of the region is supporting strong easterly winds 
and rough seas across the waters northwest of the trough. The 
trough will shift westward through Mon, as building high pressure 
north of the area follows a cold front moving across the western 
Atlantic before becoming stationary and weakening along 22N by 
Wed. Meanwhile, Potential Tropical Cyclone Eighteen may move from 
the Caribbean across western Cuba into the southeast Gulf Tue 
night into Wed. Tropical storm conditions are possible over the 
Cay Sal area and eastern Florida Straits Wed as Eighteen makes its
closest point of approach. Fresh easterly winds and moderate seas
will persist thereafter through Fri.
