reach from Fort Myers, Florida to Tampico, Mexico by Sun night.
Fresh to strong N to NE winds and building seas are likely
behind the front over much of the western and central Gulf Sun

possibility of some severe thunderstorm squalls with gusty winds
over portions of the north-central and NE Gulf on Sat.
