.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from coastal Alabama near 
30N88W to offshore of Tampico, Mexico will progress southeastward
today. Strong to near-gale force S to SW winds and rough seas 
will occur ahead of the cold front this morning 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 27.5N in the northern Gulf. Fresh to strong NW 
winds will prevail in the northeastern Gulf through early Thu, 
north of 25.5N and east of 95W, as the front moves southeastward 
and exits the basin tonight, and high pressure builds over the 
central United States. Ridging will extend over the basin on Thu 
and Fri, supporting moderate E to SE winds across the basin, with
fresh winds occurring west of 90W. Another cold front is slated 
to enter the NW Gulf by Sat night.
