.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging from the Atlantic that extends
westward across the region will continue to shift eastward today
as a cold front moves across eastern Texas. The front will enter
the western Gulf later this morning, reach from the Florida
panhandle to the Bay of Campeche Wed, then move southeast of the
area into Thu. Northerly winds behind the front are expected to
reach gale force offshore Veracruz tonight into Wed. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas are expected elsewhere west of
the front. Winds and seas will decrease Thu through Fri as high
pressure builds in the wake of the front. The high pressure will
shift eastward through the end of the week allowing for fresh to
strong east to southeast winds to develop over the western and
central Gulf.
