SYNOPSIS
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE THE MAIN FEATURE CONTROLLING
THE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE BASIN THROUGH TONIGHT. THE
ASSOCIATED PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL MAINTAIN MODERATE TO FRESH
EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER THE BASIN THROUGH SAT MORNING,
EXCEPT GENTLE TO MODERATE IN THE NE GULF. EAST WINDS WILL PULSE
TO STRONG SPEEDS NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND OVER THE BAY
OF CAMPECHE TONIGHT AND SAT NIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH A DIURNAL
TROUGH. MODERATE TO FRESH E WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA THROUGH TONIGHT. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL REACH THE NORTHERN GULF EARLY SAT BEFORE SHIFTING EAST OF
THE BASIN SUN NIGHT. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD SOUTHWARD
ACROSS THE GULF LEADING TO MOSTLY MODERATE TO FRESH EASTERLY
WINDS OVER MOST OF THE FORECAST ZONES EARLY NEXT WEEK,
INCREASING TO FRESH TO STRONG OVER THE WESTERN GULF BY EARLY TUE
AS THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.

LOW ALONG IT, WILL PERSIST OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC BETWEEN 50W
