Reinforcing high pressure will force the front SE on Sun, with low pressure expected to develop along the frontal boundary in the SW Gulf, then move ENE toward Florida and the western Atlantic Mon. Gale conditions are expected in the southwest Gulf Sun morning and then will shift ENE across the central and SE portions with the low pressure through Sun night.

Another cold front will enter the Gulf on Tue. $$ GMZ011-262130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 425 AM EST Sat Jan 26 2019 .TODAY...E winds 15 to 20 kt. Seas 4 to 6 ft.
