Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over south-central U.S. will continue forcing
fresh to near gale SE winds across the basin through Sat
afternoon. The moist SE flow may allow areas of sea fog to
persist across the northern Gulf into Sat. A strong late-season
cold front will emerge off of the Texas coast Sat night. Fresh
to near gale N winds and rapidly building seas will follow the
front over the western Gulf Sun and Mon with northerly gales
possible near Tampico on Sun morning, and off Veracruz by late
Sun afternoon. The cold front will extend from the Florida
panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche Mon followed by fresh
to strong N winds. The front will weaken as it moves southeast
of the area Tue followed by weak high pressure over the northern
Gulf. Winds and seas will diminish accordingly through Tue night
in all but the far southeast Gulf where fresh winds and rough
seas may persist.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A strong Bermuda High will continue to force fresh
to strong trades south of 25N through tonight. As the Bermuda
High weakens on Sat through early next week, fresh to strong
trades will be restricted to the SE Bahamas and the Windward
Passage. On Sat night, a large N swell will start impacting the
waters east of 60W and will subside through late Tue. Fresh to
strong S winds will develop off the coast of northeast Florida
Sun night and Mon ahead of a cold front moving through the
southeastern United States. The front is forecast to move off of
the coast Mon night, and reach from Bermuda to eastern Cuba by
mid week, followed by fresh to strong NE winds and moderate to
rough seas.
