Coastal Waters Forecasts...

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters. This system
will quickly shift eastward through Thu as a low pressure system
develops near the coast of Texas. The low pressure is forecast 
to track 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. Strong to near 
gale-force southerly winds are forecast ahead of the front, with 
fresh to strong northerly winds behind it. 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.
