Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front continues to move across the
Gulf waters producing gale-force winds and very rough seas. The
front extends from near Ft. Myers, FL to Merida in the Yucatan
peninsula. The front will exit the basin by early this evening.
Winds are gradually diminishing below gale force, except in the
Bay of Campeche, but strong northerly winds will continue to 
affect the Gulf region through this evening. Seas will gradually
subside from NW to SE on Sun, with seas below 8 ft on Mon. High
pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward through
Mon, allowing for fresh east to southeast return flow to set up
over the Gulf in advance of the next cold front. This cold front
is expected to enter the far NW Gulf late Mon night, and reach
from the western Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of
Campeche by late Tue. Fresh winds will precede and follow this
front.

.SYNOPSIS...Strong to gale-force winds are occurring ahead of a
strong cold front that extends from 31N78W to South Florida.
