offshore waters of Tampico Fri morning, and in the far SW Gulf
and offshore waters of Veracruz Fri evening. Expect strong north
to northeast winds elsewhere behind the front and building seas
through Fri night. Seas will subside Sat and Sat night. Fresh
southerly flow will set up over the western Gulf Sat night
through Sun night ahead of the next cold front expected in the
far NW Gulf on Sun night.
