Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be

.SYNOPSIS...A slow moving cold front extends from the Venice,
Florida to the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered
thunderstorms are along and ahead of this front over the
southeast Gulf. Moderate to fresh N to NW winds follow the
front. Large swell persists over the Bay of Campeche. Winds and
seas will diminish through tonight as high pressure builds into
the northern Gulf in the wake of the cold front. A second,
relatively weak cold front, is likely to move through the Gulf
late Thu into Fri. Fresh NW to N winds will follow the front over
the northeast Gulf Fri night into Sat.
