.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front extends across south Florida 
into the eastern Gulf. Gentle to moderate E to SE winds prevail 
across the Gulf behind the front, with slight seas. Hazy 
conditions due to agricultural fires in Mexico continue across 
most of the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche. High pressure NE of
the basin will produce moderate to locally fresh E to SE winds
across most of the basin Tue night through the end of the week.
