Southeast Gulf of America

over the eastern Gulf, including through the Florida Straits, 

through Sun morning as high pressure strengthens over the eastern 

United States. Locally rough seas may accompany these winds, 

especially over the Florida Straits. Winds and seas are expected 

to diminish early next week as week ridging builds over the basin.

Looking ahead, a cold front is slated to move into the northern 

Gulf by the middle of next week.

Within 200 nm east of the coast of Florida



.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong E to NE winds will occur over the 

Bahamas and offshore of Florida through Sun morning as an 

increasing pressure gradient develops between Tropical Storm 

Melissa in the Caribbean, a cold front pushing off the 

southeastern United States, and high pressure building in the 

eastern U.S. Rough seas will accompany these strong winds, 

including through the Florida Straits. Winds are expected to 

diminish to moderate to fresh speeds on Sun, however, locally 

strong winds may redevelop offshore of Florida into the northern 

Bahamas late this weekend ahead of a low pressure system moving 

through the southeastern U.S. Looking ahead, Tropical Storm 

Melissa is centered near 16.0N 74.3W in the central Caribbean. 

Rapid intensification is now forecast over the next several days, 

and Melissa is forecast to become a hurricane tomorrow and a major

hurricane by Sunday. Melissa may move over Cuba into the western 

Atlantic early next week, supporting increasing winds and building

seas over this region.
