.SYNOPSIS...A cold front moving through the southeastern United
States will progress into the northeastern Gulf of Mexico late
tonight into Fri morning, promoting fresh NW winds across the
eastern half of the basin. Strong N winds will be possible north
of 28N and east of 88W through early Fri. Locally rough seas
will occur near the strongest winds. Farther south, moderate to
fresh N winds will continue through Fri morning in the wake of
another cold front moving through the northwestern and central
Caribbean Sea. Winds across the basin will diminish to gentle to
moderate speeds by Sat morning as high pressure develops over the
southeastern United States. Moderate to locally fresh SE winds
look to develop over the western Gulf Sun into early next week
ahead of developing low pressure in the Great Plains.
