...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 extends from Florida Big Bend to
central Bay of Campeche, accompanied by gale force winds and
very rough seas over the northeast and north-central Gulf.
The cold front will reach from near Ft. Myers, FL to Cancun, 
Mexico this evening, then move southeast of the basin late 
tonight. Winds and seas will diminish Wed through Thu as high 
pressure shifts E across the Gulf in the wake of the front. 
Southeasterly winds begin to increase late Thu across the basin 
as the next cold front approaches from the W. This front is 
expected to move into the NW Gulf early Fri and reach from the 
Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by late Fri. 
Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will follow 
this front. Conditions improve Sat and Sat night as high pressure
builds over the western Gulf, although fresh NE winds will 
linger in the SE Gulf and Yucatan Channel.
