SYNOPSIS
A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA TO
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. FRESH TO STRONG NE TO E WINDS WILL PREVAIL
N OF THE FRONT TODAY AS IT GRADUALLY STALLS. LOW PRESSURE WILL
FORM OVER THE NW GULF TONIGHT, THEN TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH

HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL INDUCE GALE-FORCE N TO NE
WINDS EARLY TUE BECOMING STRONG GALES AND EXPANDING ACROSS MUCH OF
THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN GULF TUE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WED,
WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS TO STORM FORCE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE
WEST AND CENTRAL GULF. MARINERS ARE URGED TO EXERCISE EXTREME
CAUTION ACROSS THE BASIN DUE TO THE EXPANSIVE AREA OF GALE-FORCE
WINDS AND A LARGE AREA OF VERY ROUGH TO HIGH SEAS THAT IS EXPECTED
