.SYNOPSIS...A strong pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and low pressure over N Mexico/Texas will continue forcing fresh
to near gale SE winds across the basin through Sat afternoon.
The moist SE flow may allow areas of sea fog to persist across
the northern Gulf into Sat. A strong late- season cold front
will emerge off of the Texas coast Sat evening. Fresh to near
gale N winds and rapidly building seas will follow the front
over the western Gulf Sun and Mon. The cold front will extend
from the Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche Mon
followed by fresh to strong N winds. Looking ahead, the front
will weaken as it moves southeast of the area Tue followed by
weak high pressure over the northern Gulf. Winds and seas will
diminish accordingly through Tue night.
