The cold front extends from south- central Louisiana SW to Brownsville, Texas. Fresh to strong northerly winds follow the front and are expected to continue through tonight when the boundary will stall from the Florida Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche. The stationary front will then linger across the area through midweek and then gradually dissipate by Thu. A second and stronger cold front will enter the NW gulf Fri evening with strong to near gale-force winds affecting the entire basin through Sat night. $$ GMZ011-080900- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 353 PM EST Mon Mar 7 2022 .TONIGHT...NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
