SYNOPSIS
A STRONG COLD FRONT HAS ENTERED THE NORTHWESTERN
GULF DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IT WILL PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD, AND
REACH FROM THE FLORIDA BIG BEND AREA TO JUST SOUTH OF VERACRUZ,
MEXICO AROUND NOON TODAY, THEN OVER THE FLORIDA STRAITS AND
YUCATAN PENINSULA BY EARLY TUE MORNING. WIDESPREAD STRONG TO
NEAR GALE-FORCE N WINDS AND ROUGH SEAS ARE ANTICIPATED BEHIND
