.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure has settled in over the area, 
with a resulting tight pressure gradient maintaining gale force 
northwest to north winds near Veracruz, Mexico. These winds will 
diminish to strong speeds late tonight as the high pressure 
begins to shift eastward. The high pressure will continue to 
weaken as it shifts eastward through Thu in response to a cold 
front, preceded by a trough, that will move across the NW Gulf 
on Thu. The trough will weaken Thu night as the cold front 
reaches from south-central Louisiana to the western Gulf. It 
will then reach from the western Florida panhandle to the 
central Gulf and central Bay of Campeche by early Fri afternoon 
and to just southeast of the area by late on Sat. Mainly 
moderate to fresh winds are expected behind this front.
