locally fresh E to SE winds across the SE and SW parts of the

Gulf. Elsewhere gentle to moderate winds prevail. The fresh to

strong winds in the western part of the basin will persist

through late today. The next cold front will enter the NW Gulf

by early Wed morning, then sweep southward across the Gulf

region through late Thu. Fresh to strong northerly winds and

rough seas will follow the front. Winds and seas will begin to

diminish across the Gulf area from W to E Thu night into Fri as

high pressure settles over the NW Gulf.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from 31N43W to the northern 

Leeward Islands. Fresh to strong winds are on either side of the

front N of 25N. Very rough seas, in long period NW swell, are 

found in the wake of the front. Rough seas are ahead of the front.

The north part of the front will continue to move eastward while 

the southern part of it will remain nearly stationary in the 

vicinity of Puerto Rico and the northern Leeward Islands through 

early Wed, then the front will begin to lift N late on Wed ahead 

of the next cold front forecast to move off NE Florida on Thu. 

Another round of fresh to strong winds and building seas is 

expected with the next cold front, which is forecast to extend 

from near Bermuda to Hispaniola by Fri morning, and from 25N55W to

Puerto Rico on Sat. Gale conditions are possible on either side 

of the front mainly across the waters N of 29N Thu night and Fri. 

Strong low pressure building N of the forecast area could also 

bring gale force winds across the N waters E of 70W Sat night and 

Sun.
