A cold front will move into the NW Gulf of Mexico, Friday and extend from near Tampa Bay to NE Mexico on Saturday. By Sunday, it will reach from S Florida to the Bay of Campeche, Mexico. Strong high pressure will build SE, behind the front, across the north-central Gulf.
The air temperatures will be in the 80s to the mid 90s (F) or 27 to 32 (C). With the heat index, at times, it may feel like 100 plus degrees. Everyone, especially, divers should be well hydrated.
At depth, ocean water temperatures are about 82F to 88F or 28C to 31C . Visibility is generally 40 to 60 feet.
