.SYNOPSIS...The gradient between a 1010 mb low pressure near 
Galveston, Texas and 1028 mb high pressure over North Carolina is
producing fresh to strong SE to S winds over the east-central 
Gulf of Mexico. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over
the central Gulf will gradually diminish this evening as the low
pres moves N of the basin. Fresh to strong SE to S return flow 
will then continue over portions of the central and eastern Gulf 
tonight into Thu. The next cold front will push off the coast of 
Texas early Thu. The front will reach from near Pensacola Florida
to the south-central Bay of Campeche early Fri, from the Florida
Big Bend to the Yucatan Peninsula early Sat, then begin to 
weaken over the SE Gulf. Strong to gale force northerly winds and
building seas are expected across the western Gulf Thu night and
Fri. Conditions will gradually improve by late in the weekend.
