Gulf of Mexico from the western Atlantic will gradually shift
south through late Mon. Moderate to fresh winds southerly winds
will continue across most of the Gulf through tonight, except
for fresh to strong SE winds in the western Gulf through today.
Fresh to strong winds will also pulse off NW Yucatan during the
evening hours through the next few days. A weak cold front is

southeastward before dissipating Sat night. Moderate to locally
fresh return flow will then dominate the basin through Mon.
Another cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf Mon night
and move slowly southeastward. The front should reach from
northern Florida to NE Mexico by late Tue. Moderate to fresh NE
to E winds will follow in behind the front.
