.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from near Apalachee Bay,
Florida to the western Bay of Campeche. Weak low pressure ahead
of the front in the eastern Gulf will weaken as it moves
southeast tonight. By early Sun, the front will reach from SW
Florida to off Pozo Rico, Mexico then southward to the Chivela
Pass, Mexico. The front will sweep southward across the eastern
Gulf into the Florida Straits by Sun night, except lifting
northward over the western Gulf ahead of low pressure moving
through northeast Mexico. The front may lift northward early Tue
as a warm front while the low pressure moves into the north-
central Gulf. A trailing cold front over the western Gulf will
dissipate through mid week. Looking ahead, a stronger cold front
may move off the Texas coast into the far northwest Gulf Thu
night followed by near-gale or gale force winds and building
seas.
