Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Tampa Bay, Florida southwestward to the western Bay of Campeche along 94.5W. Strong to near gale force northerly winds will prevail N of the front through tonight as it moves SE and gradually stalls across the Yucatan Channel and Straits of Florida Mon through Mon night. A brief period of northerly gales offshore of Tampico and Veracruz this afternoon is expected to end this evening. Low pressure will form over the NW Gulf on Mon night, then track southeastward through Wed, dragging a strong cold front across the entire basin. Strong high pressure behind the front will induce gale force north to northeast winds early Tue becoming strong gales and expanding across much of the northern and western Gulf Tue afternoon through early Wed, with the potential for gusts to storm force across portions of the west and central Gulf. Mariners are urged to exercise extreme caution across the basin, due to the expansive area of gale force winds and a large area of very rough to high seas that is expected to accompany this next frontal system.
