.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from a 1014 mb low pres near
29N89W to Cabo Rojo, Mexico and a few showers are noted near the
boundary. Fresh to strong N winds and rough seas will occur in
the western Gulf behind the front into this afternoon. Mainly
moderate or weaker winds are then expected over the basin this

enter the northwestern Gulf late on Sun and sweep over the basin
into early next week, leading to fresh to strong N to NW winds and
building seas in the wake of the front. Gale-force NW-N winds and
rough seas may develop off Veracruz Mon afternoon. Winds and seas
