SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
THE ATLANTIC RIDGE EXTENDS ACROSS FLORIDA INTO THE
GULF REGION. THIS SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A GENTLE TO
MODERATE E TO SE WIND FLOW THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, 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. AN UPPER-LEVEL
DISTURBANCE CONTINUES TO ENHANCE THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE WESTERN GULF, MORE CONCENTRATED
OVER THE NW PART OF THE BASIN. THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS, FREQUENT LIGHTNING AND LOCALLY ROUGH SEAS.
THE SE FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO ADVECT ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE
THROUGH AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK HELPING TO INDUCE MORE
CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY ACROSS THE GULF WATERS. MARINERS ARE URGED TO
KEEP UP WITH THE LATEST FORECAST.

SYNOPSIS
WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE OVER MOST OF THE WATERS
S OF 25N STARTING MON, INCLUDING THE WATERS BETWEEN CUBA AND THE
BAHAMAS AS WELL AS THE ENTRANCE TO THE WINDWARD PASSAGE AS A
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 PRESSURE GRADIENT TO
SLACKEN LEADING TO DIMINISHING WINDS. FRESH TO STRONG TRADES WILL
PULSE NORTH OF HISPANIOLA THROUGH TUE NIGHT INTO WED. THE WESTERN
PART OF A COLD FRONT WILL PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF
THE AREA FROM TONIGHT INTO EARLY MON BEFORE STALLING NEAR 27N,
AND DISSIPATING ON TUE. FRESH TO STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS ALONG WITH
MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT, SUBSIDING LATE TUE.
