.SYNOPSIS...A cold front that extends from Cape San Blas,

Florida to south of Tampico, Mexico, will move SE and out of the

basin by Sun night. Strong to near gale-force winds will follow

the front. A corridor of gales will develop tonight in the

west-central Gulf behind the front and spread eastward into Sun

across the central and east central Gulf, immediately following

frontal passage. These gales will end over the east-central Gulf

early Sun evening. Additional gale conditions will develop

offshore Veracruz, Mexico, late tonight and continue through

Sun. Rough seas will encompass the basin behind the front, with

very rough seas through the western and southern Gulf building

tonight and continuing through Sun night. Conditions will

improve Mon as high pressure builds southward into the region.

Looking ahead, building high pressure over the SE United States

should cause strengthening NE to E winds over most of the Gulf

on Tue and Wed.
