.SYNOPSIS...A ridge dominates most of the Gulf waters. This
system  will shift eastward on Sun, ahead of the next cold front
forecast to enter the NW Gulf by Sun evening. Fresh to strong
southerly return flow is expected ahead of the front covering
the western half of the Gulf by tonight, and extending to the NE
Gulf Sun and Sun night. Fresh to strong NW to N winds and rough
seas will follow the front, forecast to reach from the western
Florida Panhandle to near Tampico, Mexico by Mon morning, and
from near Tampa Bay to Veracruz, Mexico by Mon evening. Minimal
gale conditions are expected over the west-central waters early
on Mon, and in the Veracruz area by late Mon. The front will
exit the basin on Mon night. High pressure, in the wake of the
front, will cover the Gulf waters on Tue producing moderate to
fresh N to NE winds. Looking ahead, a trough will develop over
the western Gulf on Wed, tightening the pressure gradient and
supporting fresh to strong winds on either side of the trough
axis. A low may develop along the trough axis over the NW Gulf
by Thu bringing increasing winds and seas.
