Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Areas of dense fog and hazy skies over the NW Gulf
continue to diminish as a cold front emerged off the coast of
Texas earlier this afternoon. The cold front extends from south-
central Louisiana SW to Brownsville, Texas. Fresh to strong
northerly winds follow the front and are expected to continue
through tonight when the boundary will stall from the Florida
Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche. The stationary front will then
linger across the area through midweek and then gradually
dissipate by Thu. A second and stronger cold front will enter
the NW gulf Fri evening with strong to near gale-force winds
affecting the entire basin through Sat night.
