930 AM EST Wed Dec 14 2022

...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S return flow will prevail over the
central and western Gulf today ahead of a cold front that is
just inland the Texas coast. The front will move off the coast
this morning. It 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 today over the NW Gulf, and tonight into Thu
across the north- central and NE Gulf of Mexico. Strong to
locally near-gale force NNW to N winds are expected immediately
behind the front today in the western Gulf, diminishing to
moderate to fresh northerly winds behind the front tonight into
Thu for the central and eastern Gulf. The front should become
stationary Fri night from the Florida Keys to the south-central
Gulf of Mexico before weakening further. The front should remain
in about the same position through Sat as a surface trough forms
over the SW Gulf. The gradient between this surface trough and
high pressure over the southern U.S. is likely to induce a large
area of fresh to strong N to NE winds over the central Gulf this
weekend.
