SYNOPSIS
A classic cold front, typical for this time of the year, extends from near Ft. Myers, Florida SW to the central Bay of Campeche, generating strong to gale force winds and very rough seas. Gale conditions are expected to end early this evening as the front moves SE of the basin. High pressure will build southward into the region by Mon with improving marine conditions from N to S. However, strengthening high pressure over the SE of the United States will bring fresh to locally strong NE winds, mainly over the eastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida, Tue and Wed.
