SOUTHEAST GULF OF AMERICA
SYNOPSIS
RELATIVELY WEAK HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE
CENTRAL GULF WILL PREVAIL OVER THE BASIN THROUGH THE FORECAST
PERIOD. A WEAK PRESSURE PATTERN WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY GENTLE TO
MODERATE WINDS AND SLIGHT TO LOCALLY MODERATE SEAS ACROSS MUCH
OF THE BASIN. A DIURNALLY INDUCED SURFACE TROUGH WILL GENERATE
FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG WINDS NORTH AND WEST OF THE YUCATAN
PENINSULA IN THE EARLY EVENINGS. THESE WINDS WILL SPREAD
WESTWARD AWAY FROM THE YUCATAN AT NIGHT AS THE TROUGH MIGRATES
INTO THE SW GULF.

A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR 31N49W TO A
1016 MB LOW NEAR 29N6.51W. A TROUGH EXTENDS FROM THE LOW TO
26N66W AND TO NEAR 24N72W. SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NEAR AND TO WITHIN 120 NM SOUTHEAST AND SOUTH
OF THESE FEATURES, EXCEPT 60 NM SOUTHEAST OF THE TROUGH SOUTH OF
26N. THE STATIONARY FRONT WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN EARLY ON TUE,
TRANSITIONING TO A TROUGH DURING THE DAY. ELSEWHERE, A WEAK
PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL SUPPORT MOSTLY LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS OVER
MOST OF THE WATERS NORTH OF 23N GOING INTO THE UPCOMING WEEKEND

TRADES ARE EXPECTED SOUTH OF ABOUT 22N, ESPECIALLY OFF NORTHERN
HISPANIOLA THROUGH THE PERIOD.
