We’re now just a day out from a late winter storm making waves in the gulf. An extended window of surf potentially from Tuesday evening through Friday morning looks to be in the forecast. A warm front preceding a cold front is headed right for the gulf. The system is part of a frontal boundary branching off the big low in the far north. The boundary has its own spinning low that’s expected to be in the gulf by Wednesday. Southwest swell will start us off, it’ll go west, and eventually northwest as the low pulls away. It’s likely to be a mostly onshore wind event with a slight chance of a cleanup on Friday morning. The temps start in the high 70s on Tuesday dropping ever so slightly in the evening. Wednesday morning the air will be around the low 60s, and won’t climb back into the 70s until next Saturday. The cold front will keep things feeling like winter at least through the end of the week.
