Cold Front: Gulf of Mexico
Please see Special Features section above for details on the strong cold front crossing the basin, producing gales in the SW Gulf. Ahead of this front, fresh to locally strong S winds are occurring. This front will cross the basin today and move SE of the Gulf this evening. Strong N winds and building seas exist behind this front, and gales will develop this morning in the extreme SW Gulf and continue into Mon night. Winds and seas will decrease Tue.
