.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S return flow will prevail over the
central and western Gulf tonight into Wed ahead of the next cold
front, which is forecast to move off the coast of Texas Wed
morning. The front will reach from Apalachicola, FL to the
central Bay of Campeche early Thu and from Sarasota, FL to the
central Bay of Campeche Thu night before slowing down and
beginning to weaken. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is
expected to accompany the front Wed over the NW Gulf, and Wed
night into Thu across the north-central and NE Gulf of Mexico.
Strong to locally near-gale force NNW to N winds are expected
behind the front Wed in the western Gulf, diminishing to
moderate to fresh northerly winds behind the front Wed night
into Thu for the central and eastern Gulf. The weak front should
become stationary Fri night from the Florida Keys to the far
south-central Gulf of Mexico before weakening further. The front
should remain in about the same position through Sun night as a 
surface trough forms along the Texas coast.
