today, then strengthen to strong to near gale-force tonight and
Wed over the NW and north-central Gulf, ahead of a frontal
system that will stall across Texas. High pressure and fresh
return flow is expected across most of the basin Thu, then over
the western section and also over the central section S of about
26N from Thu night through Fri night. Gentle to moderate E to SE
