Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The tail of a stationary front will dissipate over
the NE Gulf of Mexico tonight and weak high pressure will
develop, providing light to gentle variable winds across most of
the basin N of 24N through Sun night. A surface trough will move
off the Yucatan Peninsula into the Bay of Campeche every night
through Sun, supporting moderate to fresh NE to E winds and
moderate seas over the SW Gulf of Mexico. Otherwise, moderate to
locally fresh easterlies are likely to develop across the
Florida Straits and portions of the SE basin the next several
nights.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A broad trough of low pressure located off the
southeastern U.S. coast from 31N77W to 29N75W is currently
producing scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Florida
and northern Bahamas offshore waters. Environmental conditions
appear only marginally favorable for some additional development
of this system over the next couple of days before it moves
inland over the SE U.S. by this weekend. Regardless of
development, moderate to fresh SE winds and moderate seas will
affect the offshore waters between 64W and 80W through Fri
night. Shower activity associated with this system will also
prevail in this region through Thu night. Gentle to moderate E
to SE winds elsewhere will reach moderate to fresh speeds
tonight into Sat night due to a strengthening Azores-Bermuda
High and the passage of two tropical waves over the eastern and
central Caribbean. Locally strong winds and rough seas are
likely for Puerto Rico and Hispaniola adjacent waters Thu night
into Sat.

midnight. Seas 3 ft in the evening, subsiding to 2 ft or less.
Scattered showers and isolated tstms.
