Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1007 mb is over the SE Gulf near
25N82W, with a cold front extending to 23N82W. Gale force north
winds will prevail W of the low just N of the Yucatan Peninsula
waters through tonight. Strong to near gale force northerly
winds are elsewhere northwest of the front and low. Rough to
very rough seas are being produced by the strong to gale force
winds. The front and low pressure will exit the basin tonight
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.
