States will maintain mostly moderate southeast winds and slight

front approaches eastern Texas. Relatively calm conditions are
expected on Sun as the weak cold front moves across the Gulf,
followed by weak high pressure that becomes established over the
NW Gulf at that time. Fresh southerly winds are expected to
become established in the western Gulf on Mon in response to a
frontal system that approaches E Texas.
