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

through NOAA Weather Radio and other means for detailed

Coastal Waters Forecasts...



.SYNOPSIS...High pressure of 1022 mb centered over northern FL

is shifting eastward in response to a low pressure area that is

moving into the lower Mississippi Valley. A trailing cold front

is moving over the NW Gulf and extends southwestward from Pecan

Island, LA south of Brownsville, TX. Fresh to strong NW to N

winds and building seas will follow the front as it reaches from

Panama City, FL to just N of Veracruz, MX by this evening. The

low will rapidly deepen through Sat as it moves into the western

Atlantic. This will reinforce the front as it exits to the

southeast of the basin on Sat, and usher in another blast of

arctic air across the Gulf that will support winds to gale-force

near Veracruz tonight into early on Sat, and across the eastern

Gulf Sat through late Sat night, with rough to very rough seas

across the basin. Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish

from W to E across the Gulf Sun through Mon as high pressure

shifts southeastward across the northern Gulf in the wake of the

front.
