The trough will slowly dissipate through early this afternoon. Fresh southerly winds are expected to develop in the central Gulf on Fri ahead of a strong cold front expected to enter the NW Gulf Fri evening. Gale-force winds and very rough seas are expected in the wake of the front over the western and north-central portion of the Gulf waters Fri night and Sat. Strong to near gale-force winds and rough seas will follow this front across the rest of the basin through Sat night. High pressure in the wake of the front will then shift eastward through Mon, allowing for fresh east to southeast return flow to set up over the Gulf in advance of the next cold front. This cold front is expected to enter the far NW Gulf late Mon night, and reach from the western Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by late Tue. Fresh winds will precede and follow this front. Northwest Gulf of Mexico ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...SE to S winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft.
