.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending across the basin from the
western Atlantic will begin to shift eastward tonight as a
rather weak cold front approaches the NW Gulf coast. Winds will
generally remain at gentle to moderate speeds throughout tonight
into early Sun. Winds will pulse fresh to strong in the evenings
NW of the Yucatan Peninsula through at least this evening. A
cold front is forecast to move into the NW Gulf late tonight
into early Sun, stalling and dissipating near 23N early next
week. Fresh to locally strong winds and building seas may follow
the front through Sun night. High pressure will again settle
over the region by Tue and change little through Thu night. The
pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower pressure
over the southern Plains is expected to increase the southeast
winds in the western Gulf starting on Thu.
