.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the area 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. These winds shift to the central and eastern Gulf Mon and
Mon night as a cold front moves across the western Gulf.
