Fresh north winds behind the front will diminish today as high pressure in the wake of the front shifts eastward across southeastern U.S. A strong low pressure system will develop over east Texas Tue and move NE across the southern U.S. The low will drag a strong cold front across the Gulf of Mexico late Tue afternoon through Thu. Strong to near gale-force winds southerly winds, with frequent gusts to gale-force are expected ahead of the front over the NW and north- central Gulf Tue and Tue night, and gale-force northwest winds are expected over the NW Gulf Tue into early on Tue night.
