...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 extending from Cedar Key,
Florida SW to Veracruz, Mexico will exit the basin late
tonight/early Mon morning. A strong pressure gradient between
the front and high pressure building behind it is supporting
gale force northerly winds in the Bay of Campeche and NW gale
force winds just W of the front over the adjacent waters between
Crystal River and Cedar Key, Florida. Except from the NW basin,
fresh to strong N to NW winds are elsewhere across the basin
behind the front. Rough seas in the 8 to 18 ft range cover
almost the entire gulf behind the front with a buoy indicating
seas to 17 ft in the Bay of Campeche. Winds in the SW and E gulf
will diminish to moderate to fresh speeds by noon on Mon and
seas will subside below 8 ft at night. 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 will lead to
fresh to near gale force winds across the E and NW gulf Tue
evening through Thu with potential gale force winds developing
over the north-central and NE basin Thu night through Fri.
