weakening on Fri. Fresh to locally strong N to NE winds will 
occur along and behind the front this morning. Otherwise, 
moderate N to NE winds will prevail over the basin today. Another
strong cold front will enter the northern Gulf of Mexico Fri 
night and progress southward through the weekend before

modest increase seas will occur along and behind this front Fri 
night in the northern Gulf. Moderate NE winds will then occur 
across the basin on Sat. Looking ahead, building high pressure
