.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the eastern

eastern Gulf. A large area of near gale to gale force winds will
develop over the north central and east sections of the basin
today through Fri. Gale winds are forecast to be confined to far
the NE Gulf Sat and Sat night. A winter low pressure will
develop N of the Yucatan Peninsula Fri night into Sat, then
deepen as it tracks northeastward across the eastern Gulf and
central Florida Sat night into Sun morning. A cold front will
trail from the low, exiting the Gulf early on Sun. Expect
widespread showers and isolated thunderstorms over most of the
central and eastern Gulf through early Sun. Fresh to strong
north winds will filter into the western Gulf Sat and Sat night.
High pressure will then settle in over the area through early
next week allowing for marine conditions to improve.
