A COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR APALACHICOLA, FLORIDA
SOUTHWESTWARD TO 26N91W AND TO INLAND MEXICO JUST SOUTH OF
TAMPICO WHILE A REINFORCING COLD FRONT EXTENDS FROM NEAR MOBILE,
ALABAMA TO THE NW GULF. STRONG TO NEAR GALE NORTHERLY ARE OVER
THE NW AND WEST-CENTRAL GULF SECTIONS. IN THE WAKE OF THESE
FRONTS, STRONG HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. WILL CONTINUE
TO BUILD ACROSS THE BASIN TODAY, WITH THE RESULTANT TIGHT
GRADIENT BRINGING A BRIEF PERIOD OF GALE FORCE WINDS THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE WESTERN GULF WATERS OFFSHORE OF TAMPICO AND
VERACRUZ. THE REINFORCING FRONT WILL QUICKLY CATCH UP WITH
LEADING FRONT THIS MORNING. THE COLD FRONT WILL THEN REACH FROM
CENTRAL FLORIDA TO 24N90W AND TO NEAR VERACRUZ BY EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON FROM NEAR WESTERN CUBA TO THE NORTHEAST YUCATAN
PENINSULA BY LATE TONIGHT, THEN PUSH A LITTLE MORE SOUTHWARD
EARLY MON BEFORE IT STALLS. LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO FORM
OVER THE NW GULF ON MON NIGHT, THEN TRACK SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH
WED, DRAGGING A STRONG COLD FRONT ACROSS THE ENTIRE BASIN.
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE BEHIND THE FRONT WILL INDUCE GALE FORCE
NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS EXPANDING ACROSS MUCH OF THE NORTHERN
AND WESTERN GULF TUE AND TUE NIGHT, WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTS
TO STORM FORCE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE 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 TO ACCOMPANY THIS NEXT
FRONTAL SYSTEM.
