Moderate to fresh winds southerly winds will continue across most of the Gulf through late tonight, except for fresh to strong SE winds in the western Gulf through today. Fresh to strong winds will also pulse off the northwest Yucatan peninsula during the evening hours through the period. A weak cold front is forecast to enter the NW Gulf waters by early Sat and move southeastward before dissipating Sat night. Moderate to locally fresh return flow will then dominate the basin through Mon. Another cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf late Mon night and move slowly southeastward. The front should reach from northern Florida to NE Mexico by late Tue and possibly reach from the southeastern Gulf to the central Gulf, where it may stall with its western part lifting northward as a warm front. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will follow in behind the front. Fresh east to southeast winds develop in the NW Gulf Wed and Wed night. $$ GMZ040-250745- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 332 PM EDT Fri Mar 24 2023 .TONIGHT...S winds 15 to 20 kt.
