SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE CONTROLLING
THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE GULF THROUGH LATE FRI. ITS
ASSOCIATED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE TO FRESH
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER THE BASIN THROUGH SAT MORNING. EAST
WINDS WILL PULSE TO STRONG SPEEDS NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA
AND OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE NIGHTLY THROUGH FRI IN ASSOCIATION
WITH A DIURNAL TROUGH. MODERATE TO FRESH E WINDS AND MODERATE
SEAS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA THROUGH FRI
NIGHT. ELSEWHERE, WINDS WILL DIMINISH FRI INTO SAT FOR MOST OF
THE ZONES. LOOKING AHEAD, A WEAK COLD FRONT MAY REACH THE NORTH-
CENTRAL AND NE GULF ON SAT BEFORE SHIFTING EAST OF THE BASIN
SUN. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE GULF
LEADING TO MOSTLY FRESH EASTERLY WINDS OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST
ZONES THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SYNOPSIS
A STATIONARY FRONT AND A SURFACE TROUGH, WITH A WEAK
LOW ALONG IT, WILL PERSIST OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC BETWEEN 50W
AND 60W OVER THE NEXT 48 HOURS. FRESH TO STRONG SE TO S WINDS
AND BUILDING SEAS ARE EXPECTED FIRST OVER THE E SIDE OF THE
TROUGH ON FRI, THEN OVER THE NW PART OF IT ON SAT DUE TO THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE TROUGH/LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE TO
THE N. THE LOW SHOULD DISSIPATE BY SUN, AND THE TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO DRIFT WESTWARD OVER THE FORECAST WATERS EARLY NEXT
WEEK. AN AREA OF FRESH TO STRONG EASTERLY WINDS WILL PERSIST

NORTHEAST FLORIDA COAST LATE SAT NIGHT INTO SUN.
