Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong NE to NW winds occurring from
the southwestern through eastern Gulf of Mexico will slowly
diminish through tonight, in the wake of a cold front in the
northwestern Caribbean. Very rough seas associated with these
winds will subside Thu morning. The next cold front, associated
with low pressure moving through the southern United States, will
enter the northwestern Gulf Thu morning, promoting moderate to
fresh N to NE winds across much of the basin. Looking ahead,
moderate to fresh NE to SE winds are expected across the basin
this weekend as high pressure builds in the south-central United
States. Locally strong SE winds and rough seas will be possible
offshore of Texas late Sat into Sun.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from just west of Bermuda to
the NW Bahamas to the Florida Straits will progress eastward
through Thu morning, with strong to gale-force winds and very
rough seas expected in its wake, mainly N of 27N and W of 70W.
Low pressure is expected to form off the east coast of Florida on
Thu, and moderate to fresh N to NW winds will occur to the north
and west of the low through Fri morning. The low will strengthen
and move northeastward Fri into Sat, promoting widespread fresh to
strong N to NW winds north of 22N and west of 70W by Fri night.
An associated cold front will trail the low pressure and move
eastward this weekend, producing fresh to locally strong N to NE
winds and rough seas in its wake.
