.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through Wed.
Fresh southerly return flow across the western Gulf will

and from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico by Thu
night. Strong northerly winds and building seas are expected in
the wake of the front over the western Gulf. Gale conditions are
forecast over the west-central and SW Gulf Thu through Fri.
Then, the front is forecast to move slowly on Fri, and a low
