.SYNOPSIS...High pressure centered over the southeastern United

front is forecast to enter the NW Gulf Sat evening. The front 
will reach from the western Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz,
Mexico by Sun morning, and from near Fort Myers, Florida to 
Ne Yucatan peninsula Sun night, and exit the basin by Mon 
morning. Strong to gale force winds are expected behind the 
front, with gale force winds possible across the western Gulf, 
from offshore southern Texas southward to the Bay of Campeche Sat
night through Sun evening. Strong NW gales to near storm-force
