Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A late season cold front is across the western Gulf,
extending from SE Louisiana SW to just N of Veracruz, Mexico.
The front will reach from the near Apalachicola to the eastern
Bay of Campeche early Wed, from South Florida to the NE Yucatan
Peninsula Wed evening and to just SE of the Gulf early Thu.

night.
