.SYNOPSIS...Developing low pressure over eastern Texas is
forecast to move E across the northern Gulf today then NE and
inland across the southeastern U.S. Fri night through Sat. A
trailing cold front will enter the NW Gulf this morning, reach
from Mobile Bay to near Veracruz, Mexico Fri evening, and exit
the basin to the SE late Sat afternoon. Strong to near
gale-force southerly winds are expected ahead of the front
today, with fresh to strong northerly winds spilling across the
basin well behind the front Fri night through Sat. Widespread
showers and strong thunderstorms, some potentially severe, are
expected across central through SE portions of the Gulf, ahead
of the low center and the cold front. High pressure in the wake
of the front will quickly shift eastward from late Sat night
through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds
to develop over the western Gulf, ahead of the next cold front.
Strong southerly winds will shift to the central and eastern
Gulf early Mon through Mon night as a cold front moves enters
the western Gulf early Tue.
