This will bring fresh to strong east winds over the SE Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, and fresh southerly return flow over the NW Gulf through Sun night. Seas will range from 8 to 10 ft across the SE gulf waters. A cold front is expected to move into the NW Gulf on Mon and reach from Alabama to the western Gulf on Tue. $$ GMZ011-042000- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 249 AM EST Fri Mar 4 2022 .TODAY...SE winds 10 kt.
