...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Weakening high pressure over the area will continue
to shift eastward through Tue night in response to a cold front
that is advancing eastward just offshore the Texas and southwest
Louisiana coasts. This front will reach from near the western
Florida panhandle to near 26N93W and to far SW Gulf early Tue,
then extend from near Apalachicola, Florida to near 25N92W and
stationary to the central Bay of Campeche by Tue night as a
stronger cold front reaches the Texas coast. Strong high
pressure behind this front will allow for this front to
accelerate southeastward reaching from near Sarasota, Florida to
inland the Yucatan Peninsula by Wed afternoon and to southeast
of the area late Wed. Strong north gale force winds will develop
over the SW Gulf and western Bay of Campeche Wed, then continue
over the waters near Veracruz and eastern Bay of Campeche Wed
night. Strong north winds with frequent gusts to gale force are
expected over most of the waters elsewhere west of the front Wed
and Wed night as well as seas building to large values. High
pressure will settle in over the area by the end of the week
allowing for improving conditions.
