Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...S to SE winds reaching gale force and rough to very
rough seas are ongoing across the north-central Gulf, ahead of a
cold front moving into the Texas coastal waters. These winds and
rough seas will diminish early Tue through Tue night ahead of
the advancing cold front. The front will weaken as it moves
southeastward and briefly stalls from the Florida Panhandle to
western Bay of Campeche by early Wed, then will move southeast
of the Gulf by Thu evening. Looking ahead, expect fresh to
strong northerly winds and building seas over mainly the
south-central and southeast Gulf behind the front late Thu and
Fri, as high pressure builds across the basin and low pressure
deepens off the Carolinas. Winds and seas will diminish again
across the Gulf into Sat as the high pressure moves eastward
across the northern Gulf.
