A potent cold front extending from near Tampa Bay, Florida  to the Yucatan Peninsula will exit the Gulf region this evening.  Strong gale force winds of 35 to 45 kt and very rough seas in the  12 to 18 ft range are noted in the wake of the front. These hazardous  marine conditions will gradually diminish from W to E tonight into  Thu, then high pressure settling into the northern Gulf will bring  more tranquil weather for the end of the week, and into the weekend.  However, fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas will persist  over the SE Gulf and the Straits of Florida through Sat as the high  pressure strengthens while moving towards the NE of the United  States.    $$
