ahead of cold front moving into the northwest gulf waters. The
front will dissect the gulf waters from the Florida Big Bend to
the Bay of Campeche this evening, then weaken across the
southern gulf waters on Thu, and then gradually dissipate on Thu
night into Fri. Another cold front will enter the far northwest
waters late Fri night, extend east to west across the northern
waters on Sat, and stall from the Florida Big bend to Veracruz
Mexico on Sun.
