The front extends from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico, and it is forecast to move just SE of the basin by this evening. Winds are forecast to diminish below gale force, except in the Bay of Campeche, by this afternoon, but strong northerly winds will continue the affect the Gulf region through this evening. High pressure in the wake of the front will 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...N winds 25 to 35 kt, diminishing to 20 to 30 kt in the afternoon.
