A RIDGE WILL CONTINUE TO DOMINATE THE GULF WATERS
THROUGH SAT MORNING SUPPORTING MODERATE TO FRESH EAST TO
SOUTHEAST WINDS OVER MOST OF THE BASIN, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
GENTLE TO MODERATE WINDS IN THE NE GULF. EAST WINDS WILL PULSE
TO FRESH TO STRONG SPEEDS NORTH OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND
OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE AT NIGHT THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK IN
ASSOCIATION WITH A DIURNAL TROUGH, WHILE MAINLY MODERATE TO
LOCALLY FRESH E TO SE WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ARE EXPECTED
ACROSS THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA THROUGH TUE. A WEAK COLD FRONT
WILL REACH THE NORTHERN GULF WATERS EARLY SAT, AND REMAIN THERE
ON SUN BEFORE SHIFTING EAST OF THE BASIN ON MON. 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 PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS. ANOTHER
WEAK FRONT MAY REACH THE NW GULF BY EARLY THU.

SYNOPSIS
A SURFACE TROUGH EXTENDS FROM A 1018 MB LOW PRESSURE
NEAR 29.5N52W TO A 1014 MB LOW PRESSURE NEAR 25N51W TO 14N59W.
THESE FEATURES WILL GENERALLY PERSIST OVER THE CENTRAL ATLANTIC
BETWEEN 50W AND 60W THROUGH SAT. FRESH TO STRONG NE TO E WINDS
AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NW PART OF IT
TONIGHT AND SAT DUE TO THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN THE
TROUGH/LOW AND HIGH PRESSURE TO THE N. MEANWHILE A COLD FRONT
FROM 31N60W TO 30N65W TO 31N69W WILL MERGE WITH THESE FEATURES
SAT. THE LOWS SHOULD DISSIPATE BY SUN, WHILE THE TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO DRIFT WESTWARD OVER THE FORECAST WATERS THROUGH AT
LEAST EARLY NEXT WEEK. AN AREA OF FRESH TO STRONG EASTERLY WINDS
AND ROUGH SEAS WILL PERSIST NEAR THE NORTHERN END OF THE TROUGH
AXIS AFFECTING MAINLY THE NE WATERS. LOOKING AHEAD, A WEAK COLD
FRONT MAY APPROACH THEN STALL NEAR THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. COAST SUN
