south through late Mon. Moderate to fresh winds southerly winds
will continue across most of the Gulf through late tonight,
except for fresh to strong SE winds in the western Gulf through
today. Fresh to strong winds will also pulse off the northwest

Sat and move southeastward before dissipating Sat night.
Moderate to locally fresh return flow will then dominate the

NW Gulf late Mon night and move slowly southeastward. The front
should reach from northern Florida to NE Mexico by late Tue and

where it may stall with its western part lifting northward as a
warm front. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds will follow in
behind the front. Fresh east to southeast winds develop in the
NW Gulf Wed and Wed night.
