Meanwhile, another frontal boundary will stall along the Texas coast tonight through Mon morning before pushing southeastward as a cold front starting Mon afternoon. A weak low pressure will form along this front over the central Gulf, and track northeastward. In response, strong to near-gale northerly winds and rough seas will follow this frontal system across the Gulf late Tue through Wed. Winds may reach gale force over the far west-central and southwestern Gulf along the coast of Mexico Tue and Tue night. $$ GMZ040-150345- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1031 AM EST Sun Jan 14 2024 .TODAY...SE winds 10 kt.
