.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends from the Florida Big 
Bend area to near Veracruz, Mexico. Behind this front, fresh to 
strong northerly winds and rough seas are seen from the western 
Bay of Campeche northward to the Texas coast, and at the north- 
central Gulf. The front will reach from near Fort Myers, Florida
to the eastern Bay of Campeche late this afternoon, spreading 
strong to near-gale northerly winds to the north-central and 
central Gulf. This front should reach from the Florida Straits 
to Yucatan Peninsula Sun afternoon, bringing fresh to locally 
strong northerly winds to the northeastern Gulf. Looking ahead, 
winds and seas will gradually diminish across the Gulf during the
early to middle parts of next week as the front stalls and 
dissipates over the far northwest Caribbean.
