.SYNOPSIS...A cold front from Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico
will race eastward today and tonight, with scattered to numerous
strong thunderstorms expected ahead of it over the north-central

hazardous winds and seas. Also ahead of the cold front, areas of
fog will prevail over the far northern Gulf today. Behind the
