.SYNOPSIS...Strong N winds are expected surrounding a persistent
trough in the western Gulf, with winds increasing to gale force
late tonight offshore of Tampico and Veracruz. Gale force winds
will continue through Fri before diminishing from north to south
through Fri night. Very rough seas will accompany the winds on
Fri before diminishing through Sat morning. Otherwise, moderate
to locally fresh N to NE winds will prevail across the rest of
the basin, with winds increasing to fresh to strong speeds late
tonight and Fri, including through the Florida Straits, as high
pressure builds over the southeastern United States. Winds will
turn to the SE in the western half of the Gulf this weekend and
become fresh to locally strong ahead of low pressure building in
the central U.S. By the end of the weekend into early next week,
more tranquil marine conditions are forecast basin-wide as the
pressure gradient weakens.
