to northwest Cuba early this morning. The cold front will exit
the eastern Gulf by early this afternoon. High pressure ridging
that builds in across the area on Tue will be confined to mainly
the northern Gulf waters Wed through Fri night as a surface
trough moves westward over the central Gulf. Light to gentle
winds can be expected over the area from late Tue through much
of Thu. Winds become east at fresh speeds over the eastern Gulf
on Thu and shift to east to southeast in direction on Fri. Over
the far western Gulf, winds become southeast to south at

forms west of the area.
