.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure ridging over the eastern half of
the Gulf will slide eastward and dissipate tonight. This is
allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to set up in the
western Gulf, beginning this afternoon. Winds will diminish by
Fri as a weak cold front approaches the NW Gulf coast.
Elsewhere, moderate east to southeast winds over the eastern
Gulf will become mostly fresh Thu and fresh to strong southeast
on Fri. The weak cold front should stall from SE Louisiana to
Tampico Mexico late Fri night, then dissipate into Sat night.
Gentle to moderate southerly flow will become established over
most of the Gulf Sat night and Sun. Looking ahead, fresh to
strong SE to S flow could return to the western and central Gulf
by Mon.
