...Please refer to Coastal Waters Forecasts (CWF) available

Coastal Waters Forecasts...



.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh NE winds, surrounding a

1017 mb low in the southeastern Gulf of Mexico, will diminish

this evening. Moderate to locally fresh SE to SW winds will

develop this evening and continue through Sat across the northern

and western Gulf as a warm front lifts northward, ahead of

developing low pressure in the south-central United States. A

cold front associated with the aforementioned low is expected to

enter the northwestern basin Sat night, and fresh N winds will

follow the front. Winds will increase to strong speeds by early

Sun as the pressure gradient tightens between the front and

building high pressure over the central U.S. Rough seas are

expected to accompany the winds. Looking ahead, a very strong

cold front is slated to move into the northwestern Gulf early

next week, leading to strong to near gale force winds across much

of the basin. Winds may reach gale force in portions of the

northern and western Gulf. Rough to very rough seas are expected

with these winds.
