gale force and rough seas are possible off Veracruz behind the
front on Fri, with fresh to strong northerly winds elsewhere.
Winds and seas will diminish from W to E into Sat as the front
moves southeast of the area. Afterward, fresh to strong

Gulf on Sun along with building seas. The fresh to strong return
will expand eastward through Mon, then diminish to moderate Mon
