Some of this activity may contain strong gusty winds causing rough seas. Moderate to fresh southwest winds are expected over the NE Gulf ahead of the front and trough through at least Sun. Winds will pulse to fresh over the western Yucatan Peninsula adjacent waters through Mon, but to fresh to strong Sat night, and again Sun night. Otherwise, Atlantic high pressure will build westward across the area early Sat and prevail through Tue. $$ GMZ011-170315- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1106 AM EDT Fri Aug 16 2019 .TODAY...SW to W winds 10 to 15 kt.
