.SYNOPSIS...A late season cold front is across the western Gulf,
extending from SE Louisiana SW to just N of Veracruz, Mexico.
The front will reach from the near Apalachicola to the eastern
Bay of Campeche early Wed, from South Florida to the NE Yucatan
Peninsula Wed evening and to just SE 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 E to SE
winds to develop over the western and central Gulf through Sat
night.
