Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...A 1008 mb low is over the eastern Gulf near 27N85W,
with a cold front extending from it to 25N90W and to inland
Mexico at 20N97W. Strong to near gale force northerly winds are
behind the front. Gale force north winds are offshore Tampico,
Mexico. The gale force winds will expand southward tonight and
impact areas offshore Veracruz, Mexico into Sun. The low
pressure will shift southeastward toward the southeastern Gulf
on Sun. Gale force north winds are expected over some of the
waters to the west of the low by early Sun, then diminish during
Sun afternoon. Rough to very rough seas will be produced by the
strong to gale force winds. The front and low pressure will exit
the basin Sun night allowing for marine conditions to improve.
Rough seas will continue over portions of the southern Gulf of
Mexico into early Mon as high pressure settles over the region.
Fresh southerly return flow is expected for the western Gulf Wed
and Wed night as the high shifts eastward. These winds diminish
Thu as a frontal boundary approaches the NW Gulf.
