mostly fresh E to SE winds over the western and central Gulf
through Sat night before diminishing Sun. Fresh to strong SE
winds will then develop over most of Gulf Mon and Mon night, and
continue through early Wed, ahead of an approaching cold front.
Expect the next cold front to move into the western Gulf on Wed.

E and SE forecast waters Sun through Mon. Strong winds and rough

across the area from late tonight through Sun, followed by fresh
