.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending westward from the Atlantic
across the region will continue to shift eastward today as a
late season cold front moves across the western Gulf. The front
will reach from the near Apalachicola to the eastern Bay of
Campeche early Wed, from South Florida to the northeast Yucatan
Peninsula Wed evening and to just southeast of the Gulf early
Thu. Northerly winds behind the front are expected to reach gale
force offshore Veracruz late tonight into early Wed. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas are expected elsewhere west of
the front. Scattered showers and thunderstorms, some strong to
possibly severe, may impact some sections of the area. 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
through Sat night.
