Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front is moving quickly SE through the
NW Gulf of Mexico today, and this afternoon extends from the
Florida Panhandle to near Tampico, Mexico. Strong N to NE winds
are behind this front. Weak low pressure is developing along this
front over the north-central Gulf of Mexico. This low pressure 
will move E and SE and reach the SE Gulf of Mexico Sun, when the 
associated cold front will extend from the Florida Everglades to 
the Yucatan Peninsula. Rough to very rough seas will also 
accompany the strong winds. Later Sun, the front and low pressure
will move E and SE of the basin, and conditions will begin to 
improve. However, rough seas will continue over portions of the 
southern Gulf of Mexico into Mon, when high pressure will settle 
into the region.
