.SYNOPSIS...Weak high pressure ridging over the eastern half of
the Gulf is sliding eastward and dissipating tonight. This is
allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to set up in the
western Gulf. 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 Sun night.
