Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from southwest Florida to
22N86W, then becomes stationary to the northern Yucatan
Peninsula. Moderate northerly winds are over the eastern Gulf.
These winds will become east to southeast fresh winds tonight
into Wed as the cold front slows down and becomes stationary
over the southeastern Gulf. The front will lift back north as a
warm front from late tonight through Wed night. Fresh to strong
southerly winds will develop over the western Gulf tonight as a
low pressure system takes shape along the central Texas coast.
This low pressure system will track east-northeastward across
the NW Gulf on Wed dragging a strong cold front across the
western Gulf. This front is expected to reach from near
Apalachicola, Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Thu
afternoon, and exit the southeastern Gulf Fri afternoon. Gale
conditions will be possible behind this front off Veracruz and
over the eastern Bay of Campeche on Fri, while fresh to strong
north to northeast winds are expected over the eastern Gulf and
over the southern half of the central Gulf. Fresh to strong
northerly winds will be confined to the eastern Gulf south of
27N Fri through Sat night, then expand westward while veering
around to the east through Sun night.
