Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A Gale Warning will remain in effect for the SW Gulf
of Mexico for the next couple of hours in the wake of a strong
cold front that moved east of the area early this evening.
Strong gale force winds and very rough seas to 17 ft remain in
the SW Gulf and just west-southwest of the Tampa area. These
hazardous marine conditions will gradually diminish from W to E
tonight into Thu, then high pressure settling into the northern
Gulf will bring more tranquil weather for the end of the week,
and into the weekend. However, fresh to strong NE to E winds and
rough seas will persist over the SE Gulf and the Straits of
Florida through Sat as the high pressure strengthens while
moving towards the NE of the United States.  

.TONIGHT...N winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 7 to 10 ft in NW swell. 
.THU...NE winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 7 to 10 ft in NW to N swell. 
.THU NIGHT...NE to E winds 20 to 25 kt. Seas 6 to 9 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Strong to frequent gust to gale-force NW winds and
rough seas will continue to affect the northeast and central 
Florida offshore waters tonight behind a cold front that extends
from 31N76W SW to the Straits of Florida. The front will reach 
from 31N69W to 23N78W Thu afternoon, and 31N68W to 21.5N75W Fri 
afternoon while weakening. Strong high pressure in the wake of the
front will tighten the pressure gradient against an approaching 
surface trough from the east. In addition, strong high pressure 
also follows the trough. This weather pattern will lead to the 
continuation of strong to near gale-force winds and rough seas 
across most of the region through the weekend. Winds will start to
gradually weaken Sun night into Mon.
