SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE WESTERN ATLANTIC TO
THE NORTHERN GULF WILL CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH LATE MON, THEN
WEAKEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. THE RELATED PRESSURE
GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN A GENTLE TO MODERATE EAST TO SOUTHEAST
WIND FLOW THROUGH EARLY SUN, EXCEPT FOR LIGHT TO GENTLE
SOUTHEAST WINDS W OF ABOUT 94W TONIGHT THROUGH TUE AS A WEAK
TROUGH DEVELOPS OFF THE TEXAS COAST. WINDS THEN GENERALLY BECOME
SOUTHEAST AT GENTLE TO MODERATE SPEEDS ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH
MIDWEEK, WITH SLIGHT TO MODERATE SEAS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
FRESH TO STRONG WINDS PULSING OFF NW YUCATAN FROM THE LATE
AFTERNOONS AND INTO THE NIGHT TIME HOURS DUE TO LOCAL EFFECTS
ASSOCIATED WITH A THERMAL TROUGH. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NW AND NORTHERN GULF W OF 89W ARE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING FREQUENT LIGHTNING, GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL REDUCING VISIBILITY. THIS ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE INTO
TONIGHT. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP AGAIN LATE TONIGHT
INTO EARLY SUN. IN ADDITION, INCREASING MOISTURE OVER THE
SOUTHEASTERN GULF BEGINNING AROUND THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK SHOULD LEAD TO INCREASING CHANCES FOR UNSETTLED
WEATHER IN THAT PART OF THE GULF. MARINERS ARE URGED TO KEEP UP
WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.

SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE MOST OF THE
FORECAST REGION INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. FRESH TO STRONG TRADES WILL
PULSE NORTH OF HISPANIOLA DURING THE AFTERNOONS AND EVENINGS
GOING INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. THE WESTERN PART OF A BACKDOOR COLD
FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA FROM
SUN EVENING INTO MON BEFORE STALLING NEAR 27N, THEN BEGIN TO
WEAKEN, DISSIPATING ON TUE. FRESH TO STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS ALONG
WITH MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT, SUBSIDING LATE
TUE. ELSEWHERE, TRADES ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE OVER MOST OF THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA STARTING MON, INCLUDING THE WATERS
BETWEEN CUBA AND THE BAHAMAS AS WELL AS THE ENTRANCE TO THE
WINDWARD PASSAGE AS INITIALLY STRONGER ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE
BEGINS TO SHIFT EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD TIGHTENING THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN WED ALLOWING
FOR THE TIGHT GRADIENT TO SLACKEN LEADING TO DIMINISHING TRADES.
