.SYNOPSIS...Developing low pressure along the coast of Texas is
forecast to track E-NE from the NW Gulf of Mexico to inland
across the southeastern U.S. tonight through Sat. The trailing
cold front will reach from SW Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico
Fri morning, from the Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz, Mexico
Sat morning, and exit the basin to the SE late Sat afternoon.
Strong to near gale-force southerly winds are forecast ahead of
the front Fri, with fresh to strong northerly winds behind it.
Widespread showers and strong thunderstorms, some potentially
severe, are expected E through SE of the low center and the cold
front. Mariners should monitor these hazardous marine conditions
and adjust your routes accordingly. High pressure in the wake of
the front will quickly shift eastward from late Sat night
through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds
to develop over the western Gulf. These southerly winds will
shift to the central and eastern Gulf Mon and Mon night as a
cold front moves enters the western Gulf early Tue.
