.SYNOPSIS...A 1022 mb high pressure north of the Bahamas is 
sustaining fresh to locally strong southerly flow across the 
entire Gulf through early this morning. A strong cold front is 
forecast to enter the northwestern Gulf later this morning, 
causing strong to near-gale northerly winds and building seas. 
As this front moves southeastward, these conditions will spread 
to the north-central Gulf by this afternoon. This front will 
reach from southern Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Sat
evening, spreading strong to near-gale N to NE winds and rough 
seas into the central Gulf. Frequent gusts to gale-force are 
possible at the central Gulf late Sat afternoon through Sun. As 
the front continues southeastward passing through the Yucatan 
Channel and Florida Straits on Sun night, both winds and seas 
should gradually subside across the Gulf on Mon.
