.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from the south-central coast 
of Louisiana to Tampico, Mexico will progress southeastward 
overnight through Wed. S to SW gale force winds are expected 
tonight into early Wed in portions of the northeastern Gulf of 
America offshore of Alabama and the Florida Panhandle, and very 
rough seas will accompany these winds. Strong to near-gale force 
S to SW winds and rough seas will occur ahead of the cold front 
overnight north of 27N, with widespread fresh S winds likely 
across the eastern half of the basin. Behind the cold front, 
expect fresh to strong NW winds with occasional gusts to gale 
force as well as rough seas, mainly north of 28N in the 
northwestern Gulf. Fresh to strong NW winds will prevail in the 
northeastern Gulf on Wed, north of 26N and east of 95W, as the 
front moves southeastward and exits the basin Wed night, and high
pressure builds over the central United States. Ridging will 
extend over the basin on Thu, supporting moderate to locally 
fresh E to SE winds across the basin. The high pressure will move
eastward toward N Florida on Fri producing moderate to fresh SE 
to S winds over the western Gulf. Another cold front is slated to
enter the NW Gulf by Sat night.
