southwestward to 24N88W and to 21N96W will reach from the

pressure system will develop over east Texas Tue and move NE
across the southern U.S. The low will drag a strong cold front
across the Gulf of Mexico late Tue afternoon through Thu. Strong
to near gale-force winds southerly winds, with frequent gusts to
gale-force are expected ahead of the front over the NW and
north- central Gulf Tue and Tue night, and gale-force northwest

wake of the front. Winds and seas across the basin will then
gradually subside by Fri.
