The pressure gradient between the ridge and a cold front moving across SE Texas will support fresh SE to S winds across the Gulf through midday today. The cold front will enter the Gulf waters early this afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will briefly follow this front, which will stall over the west- central Gulf on Thu while dissipating. A stronger cold front will enter the NW Gulf Thu night, reach from the Florida Big Bend to the central Bay of Campeche by Fri evening, and move across the Yucatan Channel by Sat evening. Northerly gale force winds are possible near Tampico, Mexico early Fri afternoon, and offshore Veracruz, Mexico Fri afternoon through early Sat. Gales could also persist over the central Bay of Campeche into Sat morning. Very rough seas are expected in the wake of the front, especially over the SW Gulf. Winds and seas will gradually diminish from W to E on Sun, as high pressure builds across the region. Northwest Gulf of Mexico ...DENSE FOG ADVISORY... .TODAY...SE to S winds 15 to 20 kt.
