force winds for the northwestern Gulf tonight through Fri, and
fresh to strong winds across the north-central and northeastern
Gulf Fri through Sat. Seas in these areas are anticipated to be
rough to very rough. The cold front associated with this low
will move SE across the basin producing strong to near-gale
force NW to N winds and very rough seas over the west-central
and southwestern Gulf Fri through Sat.
