Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging from the Atlantic that extends
westward across the region will continue to shift eastward today
as a cold front moves across eastern Texas. The front will enter
the western Gulf later this morning, reach from the Florida panhandle
to the Bay of Campeche Wed, then move southeast of the area into 
Thu. Strong to near gale northerly winds are expected behind the 
front. Fresh to strong winds and building seas are expected 
elsewhere west of the front. Winds and seas will decrease Thu 
through Fri as high pressure builds in the wake of the front. The 
high pressure will shift eastward through the end of the week 
allowing for fresh to strong east to southeast winds to develop 
over the western and central Gulf.
