The front is expected to move over the NW Gulf Wed morning, reach from Tampa Bay, Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche by Thu night, and from the Straits of Florida to the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula by late Fri. The front is expected to become stationary and weaken from the lower Straits of Florida to the far south-central Gulf Sat and Sat night. A line of thunderstorms is expected to accompany the front Wed and Wed night across the NW and north-central Gulf. Strong N winds are expected behind the front Wed in the western Gulf, diminishing to moderate to fresh northerly winds behind the front later for the central and eastern Gulf.
