Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure has settled in over the area, with a resulting tight pressure gradient maintaining gale force northwest to north winds near Veracruz, Mexico. These winds will diminish to strong speeds late tonight as the high pressure begins to shift eastward. The high pressure will continue to weaken as it shifts eastward through Thu in response to a cold front, preceded by a trough, that will move across the NW Gulf on Thu. The trough will weaken Thu night as the cold front reaches from south-central Louisiana to the western Gulf. It will then reach from the western Florida panhandle to the central Gulf and central Bay of Campeche by early Fri afternoon and to just southeast of the area by late on Sat. Mainly moderate to fresh winds are expected behind this front. .OVERNIGHT...N winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 6 to 8 ft. .TUE...N winds 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. .TUE NIGHT...N winds 20 to 25 kt.
