Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A Gale Warning is in effect for the western Gulf of
Mexico. A strong cold front extending from SE Louisiana to near
Brownsville, Texas will quickly move southeastward across the
basin, exiting the region on Wed evening. Strong to gale-force
winds and rapidly building seas can be expected in the wake of
the front tonight and Wed. Expect the strongest winds, in the
35 to 40 kt range tonight and Wed morning, with NW strong gale
conditions just offshore of Veracruz. Seas should peak around
17 ft in the SW Gulf early Wed afternoon. These hazardous marine
conditions will gradually diminish from W to E Wed night into
Thu, then high pressure settling into the northern Gulf will
bring more tranquil weather for the end of the week, and into
the weekend.

.TONIGHT...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
.WED...S to SW winds 15 to 20 kt, becoming W to NW 25 to 30 kt in
the afternoon. Seas 5 to 7 ft. Scattered showers.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southerly winds will develop off
northeast Florida tonight ahead of the next cold front forecast
to enter the basin by early Wed afternoon. Frequent gust to
gale-force and building seas are expected ahead and behind the
front on Wed. This system will reach from near 31N74W to the
Straits of Florida on Wed night, become stationary from near
31N69W to east-central Cuba by Thu night, then gradually weaken
into late Fri night as strong high pressure builds in behind it.
Farther E, a broad surface trough is analyzed from  30N46W to
21N51W. The trough is forecast to shift westward trough at least
Fri. Fresh to strong winds are expected on either side  of the
trough due to a tight pressure gradient between the trough  and
strong high pressure to the NE, and between the trough and an
approaching cold front from the W.

.TONIGHT...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and SE to S 15 to
20 kt N of 27N. Seas 3 to 5 ft.
.WED...SE to S winds 10 to 15 kt S of 27N, and S 20 to 25 kt N of
