Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1015 mb is near 24N88W, with a warm
front extending east-northeastward to south-central Florida and
as a cold front extends from the same low southwestward to the
eastern Bay of Campeche. High pressure of 1027 mb is centered
just east of Tampico, Mexico. Fresh to strong NW to N winds and
rough seas are over western Gulf S of about 27N. These
conditions are expected to diminish tonight into Fri as the low
pressure and associated cold front weaken while shifting
eastward. Afterwards, moderate to locally fresh S to SW winds
are expected across the basin Fri through Sat ahead of a cold
front moving through the southern U.S. and into the northwestern
Gulf late on Sat. Fresh N winds will follow the front by early
Sun, with winds increasing to strong speeds across much of the
basin on Sun. Rough seas will accompany these winds Sun through
early next week. Looking ahead, another strong cold front will
lead to strong to potentially near-gale force winds and very
rough seas across the Gulf of Mexico early next week.
