.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over N Mexico/Texas will continue forcing fresh

Sat night, a strong late-season cold front will emerge off of
the Texas coast. Fresh to near gale N winds and rapidly building
seas will follow the front over the W Gulf on Sun and Mon with N
gales possible near Tampico on Sun morning. Looking ahead to Mon
morning, the cold front will extend from the Florida panhandle
to the Bay of Campeche with N winds fresh to strong following
the front and near gale NW winds off of Veracruz. By Tue
morning, winds across the Gulf should drop to fresh or weaker as
the cold front reaches the Yucatan Channel.
