A strong high pressure in the SE Unites States  continues to
build across the area and in its wake fresh to strong NE winds
prevail over the Gulf. The pressure difference between the
strong high and low pressure southeast of the Gulf associated to
Hurricane Eta over Central America will maintain fresh to near
gale force northeast winds over the SE Gulf and the Bay of
Campeche and the Straits of Florida. Winds will remain moderate
to fresh over the eastern Gulf waters through the end of the
week and into the weekend.

behind the front will continue through Thu night,  then become
east mainly fresh winds Fri and increase to fresh to  strong Sat
