Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from SE Louisiana to the
offshore waters south of Tampico, Mexico will reach from
Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of Campeche early Thu and
from near Sarasota, FL to the central Bay of Campeche Thu night
before slowing down and beginning to weaken. A line of strong to
severe thunderstorms just out ahead of the front will race E
across the north-central and NE Gulf tonight through Thu. Fresh
to strong NW to N winds west of the front will diminish to
moderate to fresh speeds overnight into Thu for the central and
eastern Gulf. Fresh to strong southerly winds ahead of the front
will diminish Thu as the front approaches Fl. The front should
become stationary Fri night from the Straits of Florida to the
south-central Gulf of Mexico before weakening further and 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. The trough will transition to a warm
front on Sun and lift northward to the NW Gulf by late Mon.
