As the low moves NE into Louisiana later today, the front will accelerate eastward behind it into the western Gulf. By tonight, the cold front will stretch from near Mobile Bay to the western Bay of Campeche. The cold front will move SE of the region by Mon night. Strong N winds and building seas will follow the front, with gales developing Mon in the extreme SW Gulf. Winds diminish and seas subside Tue. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward Tue night through Wed night allowing for fresh E to SE wind to set up across the area. Another cold front will move into the NW Gulf late Wed and reach from near Mobile Bay to the central Gulf and central Bay of Campeche by late Thu. Fresh to strong N wind and building seas will follow in behind this front. $$ GMZ011-291945- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 243 AM EST Sun Nov 29 2020 .TODAY...W winds 15 to 20 kt, shifting to NW to N in the afternoon.
