A strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the western Atlantic and a deepening low pressure over Texas and NE Mexico supports these wind speeds. A cold front will approach the coast of Texas by this evening, and extend from the Florida Big Bend to near Tuxpan, Mexico by Thu evening. Then, the front will become stationary while drifting northward through Sat. $$ GMZ011-302115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 508 AM EDT Wed Mar 30 2022 .TODAY...SE to S winds 25 kt, shifting to SW to W in the afternoon.
