A warm front will lift northward through the north-central Gulf Tue morning and afternoon, promoting widespread fresh to strong S winds and rough seas for areas west of 85W. A strong pressure gradient associated with the storm system will support strong to gale force winds in the northeastern Gulf offshore of Alabama and Mississippi. A cold front is forecast to enter the northwestern basin later on Tue, with fresh to locally strong N to NW winds expected behind the front, mainly offshore of the US Gulf coast. Fresh to strong NW winds will prevail east of 90W and north of 25W Wed into Thu as the cold front moves southeastward through the basin. Looking ahead, high pressure building over the central United States late this week will support moderate E to SE winds across the basin. Northwest Gulf of America .TONIGHT...SE winds 20 to 25 kt.
