SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS

FRESH EAST TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AND MODERATE SEAS ELSEWHERE ACROSS
BASIN THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, EXCEPT FOR OCCASIONAL STRONG EAST
WINDS OFF WESTERN CUBA AND OFF THE NORTHWEST YUCATAN. LOCALLY
ROUGH SEAS WILL BE IN THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA LATE IN THE WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

WITHIN 200 NM EAST OF THE COAST OF FLORIDA
SYNOPSIS
A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM JUST
SOUTHEAST OF BERMUDA TO THE CENTRAL BAHAMAS, WHERE IT BEGINS TO
WEAKEN TO THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA. STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IS TO THE
NORTHWEST OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY. THE PRESSURE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THESE TWO FEATURES WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW FOR MOSTLY STRONG
NORTHEAST WINDS AND VERY ROUGH SEAS BEHIND THE FRONT THROUGH THE
REST OF TONIGHT. THESE WINDS WILL DIMINISH TO FRESH SPEEDS FRI
MORNING AS THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS NUDGED SOUTHWARD BY THE HIGH
PRESSURE. THE MAIN MARINE ISSUE THEN WILL BE LARGE NORTHEAST SWELL
THAT WILL MAINTAIN ROUGH SEAS BETWEEN BERMUDA AND THE BAHAMAS
INTO THE START OF NEXT WEEK. FRESH TO STRONG WINDS LOOK TO RETURN
SAT NIGHT INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS.
