.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf waters
today. Fresh southerly return flow across the western Gulf will
persist today ahead of the next cold front forecast to emerge
from the coast of Texas late tonight. The front will reach from
SE Louisiana to Brownsville, Texas on Thu morning, and from the
Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico late Thu night. Strong
northerly winds and building seas are expected in the wake of
the front. Gale conditions are forecast over the west-central
and SW Gulf Thu through Fri. Then, the front is forecast to move
slowly eastward on Fri, and a weak low pressure may develop
along the frontal boundary over the NE Gulf on Sat. The possible
low is forecast to move NE into the W Atlantic, dragging the
cold front across the SE Gulf by Sat night and early Sun.
