...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available
through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed
Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front is moving across the Gulf waters
and extends from the western Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz,
Mexico. A wide band of showers and thunderstorms is just ahead
of the front forecast to reach from Cedar Key, FL to Merida,
Mexico in the NW Yucatan peninsula this evening, and exit the
basin Mon morning. Gale force N winds are occurring in the wake
of the front, with seas to 14-15 ft. Minimal storm force NW
winds are expected briefly offshore of the Veracruz area this
afternoon. Seas are forecast to build to 14 to 16 ft with the
strongest winds. Winds and seas will gradually subside across
the basin late Mon. Looking ahead, the aforementioned front is
forecast to stall across the western Atlantic and NW Caribbean
on Tue, before drifting back towards the Straits of Florida and
the SE Gulf on Wed. The pressure gradient between very strong
high pressure north of the area and lower pressure associated
with the frontal boundary may induce strong to minimal gale
force winds and rough to very rough seas across the northern
Gulf towards the end of the work week.
