.SYNOPSIS...Widespread strong to near-gale force winds, with 
gusts to gale force, and rough to very rough seas will occur 
today in the wake of a cold front extending from the Florida Big 
Bend to 19N96W in the western Bay of Campeche. The front will 
exit the basin late tonight, and winds and seas are expected to 
diminish from northwest to southeast on Fri. High pressure will 
build over the basin Fri, supporting moderate to locally fresh S 
to SE winds over the western and central Gulf, and gentle to 
moderate winds in the eastern basin through this weekend. Looking
ahead, the next cold front is slated to enter the northwestern 
basin early next week.
