The high pressure will quickly shift eastward through Thu as a warm front and low pressure develop near the Texas coast. The low pressure is forecast to track east-northeastward across the northern Gulf and into the southeastern U.S. by Fri night pushing a cold front across the basin.

High pressure in its wake will also quickly shift eastward from late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf. $$ GMZ040-201945- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 339 AM EDT Wed Mar 20 2024 .TODAY...E to SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
