A cold front is to the north across Lake Okeechobee, Florida to offshore Naples. A surface trough extends from near Brownsville, Texas to the eastern Bay of Campeche. These features are combining with strong high pressure north of the area to support strong to gale force winds north of between the stationary front and cold front, as well as offshore Veracruz, Mexico. Very large seas to around 16 ft accompany the gale force winds. The low will weaken to a trough while the front stalls across the southern waters today, with associated gales diminishing by sunrise today.
