A line of strong to severe thunderstorms with frequent lightning and gusty winds is just ahead of the front, north of 27.5N. These storms will continue eastward across the Gulf as the front reaches from Destin, FL to Veracruz Mexico by Wed morning, from Tampa Bay, FL to the Yucatan Peninsula Wed night, and exiting the basin from the Straits of Florida to the Yucatan Channel by midday Thu. Sustained winds across the northern Gulf of 25 to 35 kt are expected through tonight and into early Wed morning, with gusts possibly as high as 45 to 50 kt within the squall line. Gale- force winds are expected offshore Tampico late tonight, and offshore Veracruz Wed in the wake of the front. Winds and seas will gradually improve by Fri. Fresh to locally strong southerly return flow will begin to set-up in the far western Gulf starting Sat in response to the next cold front that will be approaching the NW Gulf. Fresh to strong east winds will surge from the southwestern Atlantic through the Straits of Florida and into the far southeastern Gulf Sat and Sat night. These conditions will improve late on Sun into Sun night. $$ GMZ040-251445- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 941 PM EST Tue Jan 24 2023 ...GALE WARNING... .OVERNIGHT...NW winds 25 to 35 kt, decreasing to 20 to 30 kt after midnight.
