Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh N to NE winds are expected this morning across
the northern Gulf in the wake of a dissipated cold front moving
southward through the eastern Gulf and central Florida.
Otherwise, expect moderate N to NE winds over the remainder of
the Gulf today as high pressure builds modestly into the basin
behind a cold front moving into the northwestern Caribbean. This
high pressure centered over the central United States this
morning extends southward into the NW Gulf, and will drift
slowly eastward through the middle of next week, resulting in
moderate E to SE winds late Sun into next week. 

.TODAY...N winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 4 to 5 ft. 
.TONIGHT...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 5 ft.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N68W to the central 
Bahamas this morning, and will progress slowly eastward through 
early next week. Fresh NW winds and building seas will occur 
behind the front north of 27.5N and west of 68W through midday. 
Farther east, a broad ridge will drift eastward, leading to
fresh  S to SE winds along the periphery of the ridge, generally
north of 20N and east of 65W through this evening. South of 20N,
moderate  to briefly fresh trades will prevail into the middle
of next week. Looking ahead, widespread fresh to locally strong
NE winds and  rough seas will redevelop north of 20N by early
Mon as strong high pressure builds across the western Atlantic
and into the local  region, behind the next cold front.
