Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure is building over the area in the wake
of the recent cold front. A tight gradient between the high
pressure and a trough that extends from Tampico to 18N94W is
allowing for fresh to strong northeast winds over the SW Gulf,
and for fresh N to NE winds in the southern half of the central
Gulf. These winds will diminish by early on Thu. The high
pressure will shift eastward into the Atlantic Thu night,
inducing moderate to fresh return flow across most of the basin
Fri through Sat, ahead of the next cold front that is forecast
to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. Strong to near gale force
winds are likely behind the front, with gale force winds
possible in the SW Gulf and over a portion of the w-central Gulf
zones. The front is expected to reach from west- central Florida
to the Yucatan Peninsula by lat Sun.
