A strong cold front extends from the western Florida panhandle to 25N92W and inland Mexico just south of Tampico. The front will sweep across the rest of the Gulf by earl this evening. Gale-force winds and very rough seas will follow the front. High pressure in the wake of the front will then shift eastward through Mon, allowing for fresh east to southeast return flow to set up over the Gulf in advance of the next cold front. This cold front is expected to enter the far NW Gulf late Mon night, and reach from the western Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by late Tue. Fresh winds will precede and follow this front. $$ GMZ011-122030- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 427 AM EST Sat Mar 12 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...N winds 30 to 35 kt diminishing to 20 to 30 kt during the morning, and becoming N to NE 20 to 25 kt in the afternoon.
