.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters. This system
will quickly shift eastward through Thu as a warm front and low 
pressure develop near the coast of Texas. The low pressure is 
forecast to track east-northeastward across the northern Gulf and
to over the western Florida panhandle and the southeastern U.S. 
Fri and Fri night pushing a cold front across the basin. Fresh to
strong northerly winds will follow the front. Widespread showers
and thunderstorms are expected with the low center and attendant
cold front. High pressure in its wake will also quickly shift 
eastward from late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for 
fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf.
