...GULF OF MEXICO...

A cold front stretches early this morning from near Houston Texas

Mexico and continue through the evening. The slow moving cold 
front will stretch from Louisiana to the Bay of Campeche tonight,
the Florida Panhandle to Yucatan Peninsula Fri night, then exit 
the SE Gulf Sat night. A coastal trough will develop near Mexican
coast Sat, inducing more strong N winds over the western Gulf 
and again providing a potential for gale conditions offshore 
Veracruz Sun.
