SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER-LEVEL LOW OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE WILL
SUSTAIN SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER
MOST OF THE EASTERN AND CENTRAL GULF THROUGH THE WEEKEND. A
MODERATE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE SUBTROPICAL RIDGE OVER
THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND LOWER PRESSURES IN THE GULF WILL
SUPPORT MODERATE TO LOCALLY STRONG SE WINDS OVER MUCH OF THE
EASTERN HALF OF THE GULF INTO SUN. A WEAK COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE ACROSS THE NW GULF THIS WEEKEND, AND STALL FROM THE
FLORIDA PANHANDLE TO NW GULF AND TO THE SW BY LATE SUN. WEAK LOW
PRESSURE MAY RIDE UP ALONG THE FRONT DURING THE WEEKEND AND INTO
MON ENHANCING WINDS SOME IN THE NW GULF AND IN THE NORTH-CENTRAL
GULF. THE FRONT WILL REMAIN STATIONARY INTO MIDWEEK. FRESH TO
STRONG NE WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND THE FRONT BEGINNING TUE,
MAINLY IN THE NE AND NORTH-CENTRAL GULF, AS STRONG HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDS SOUTHWARD BEHIND IT. LIGHT TO MODERATE ARE GENERALLY
EXPECTED ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH THE PERIOD.

WITHIN 200 NM EAST OF THE COAST OF FLORIDA
SYNOPSIS
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE ACROSS THE WATERS WEST OF 75W THROUGH AT LEAST
SAT. MEANWHILE, THE COMBINATION OF A TROUGH SE OF BERMUDA AND A
BROAD UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH DIGGING SOUTHWARD WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH THE WEEKEND NORTH OF
ABOUT 22N AND EAST OF 70W. TRADES JUST NORTH OF HISPANIOLA WILL
PULSE TO FRESH TO OCCASIONALLY STRONG SPEEDS TONIGHT AND ON SAT
NIGHT. OTHERWISE, RATHER TRANQUIL CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH
WED. LOOKING AHEAD, A COLD FRONT MAY REACH THE WATERS OFF OF NE
FLORIDA TUE MORNING AND STALL. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL NUDGE
SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE FRONT WITH THE RESULTANT PRESSURE GRADIENT
BETWEEN IT AND THE FRONT LIKELY TO INDUCE STRONG NE WINDS, WITH
POTENTIAL TO NEAR GALE FORCE, AND ALONG WITH BUILDING SEAS
OFFSHORE NE FLORIDA.
