.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the far western Florida
panhandle near Pensacola southwestward to 28N91W, where it
transitions to a stationary front to inland NE Mexico. The cold
front will stall over the northern and eastern Gulf today
through early Tue, and lift NE as a warm front later during Tue
and through Wed night. The stationary portion will weaken and
dissipate through tonight. Light to gentle variable winds will
dominate the basin afterward through Thu morning when a strong
cold front is forecast to emerge off the coast of Texas. Fresh
southerly flow will return to the Texas coast Wed into Thu ahead
of this front, and strong NW winds and building seas will follow
the front over the northwest Gulf Thu night. Looking ahead, the
front will reach from near Tampa Bay, Florida to Veracruz,
Mexico by early Fri. Winds to gale force and rough seas are
possible off Veracruz Fri behind the front, with fresh to strong
northerly winds elsewhere. Winds and seas will diminish into Sat
as the front moves southeast of the area.
