Southeast Gulf of America

.SYNOPSIS...The pressure gradient between high pressure over the
eastern Gulf and relatively lower pressure in Texas and in
eastern Mexico will maintain moderate to fresh SE winds and
moderate seas across the western Gulf through early Tue evening.
Pulsing fresh to locally strong E winds are likely each
afternoon and evening, north of the Yucatan Peninsula as a
trough develops daily and drifts westward. Smoke from
agricultural fires in southeastern Mexico is leading to hazy
conditions over the western Gulf zones.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Broad high pressure over the central Atlantic
extending westward to across Florida will change little through
early next week controlling the wind flow pattern over the
region. A weakening cold front will stall just N of 31N and W of
70W late in the weekend. In the long term, fresh southerly winds
are expected to develop over the far western waters starting
late Tue in advance of a cold front that will be moving across
the southeastern U.S. These winds may become fresh to strong,
south to southwest in direction, during the middle of next week.
Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will pulse north of Hispaniola
and in the Windward Passage each night into next week.
