The low will gradually weaken as it reaches to near 29N90W 1015 mb at about daybreak this morning, with the cold front trailing from it to 26N92W and to Veracruz. The low will track northeastward across the rest of the north-central Gulf waters today and east-northeastward across the NE Gulf tonight. The gale force northerly winds will be confined to the SW Gulf offshore Veracruz by early this afternoon, then diminish tonight. The front will exit the southeastern Gulf Tue night and be over the Straits of Florida Wed. High pressure will build over the NW Gulf in the wake of the front, except a trough will persist over the far SW Gulf Tue and Wed.
