.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are occurring over the extreme 
SE Gulf of Mexico and Straits of Florida, in association with a 
broad area of deep-layered low pressure moving E-NE across the 
north central and northeast Gulf tonight. This active system will
move NE across Florida and SE U.S. overnight through Sat, with 
the thunderstorms shifting E into the Atlantic. A trailing cold 
front extends from SE Louisiana to near Tampico, Mexico, and will
reach from near Tallahassee, FL to near 22N91W Sat morning, and 
exit the basin to the SE by early Sat evening. Fresh to strong 
northerly winds will spill across the basin well behind the front
tonight through Sat. High pressure in the wake of the front will
quickly shift eastward late Sat night through Sun night, 
allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the 
western Gulf, ahead of the next cold front. Strong southerly 
winds will then shift to the central and eastern Gulf early Mon 
through Mon night as the new cold front enters the western Gulf 
Mon night. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly expected Tue 
behind the front over the SW Gulf of Mexico. The front will slow 
and weaken mid-week over the eastern Gulf.
