Southeast Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to locally strong SE winds and locally rough seas will occur across the central and western Gulf through tonight as the pressure gradient tightens between high pressure over the eastern Gulf and strengthening low pressure in the south-central United States. A cold front associated with the aforementioned low will move into the northwestern Gulf tonight, leading to fresh N to NE winds in its wake Fri morning into early Sat. Strong to near-gale force winds and locally very rough seas will be possible in the southwestern basin offshore of Veracruz Fri afternoon through Sat morning. Looking ahead, building high pressure this weekend will lead to gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the basin into early next week. .TODAY...E to SE winds 15 to 20 kt.
