This front is expected to move over the NW Gulf Tue afternoon or early evening. The front will reach from the NE Gulf to near 26N90W and to the SW Gulf early Wed and to SE of the area Wed night. This front will be followed by strong northerly winds, except for strong to near gale force in the far western and SW gulf waters on Wed. Strong E to SE winds develop over the western gulf waters beginning late Wednesday night and through Thu night as low pres forms from a coast trough near the southern Texas coast. The low is forecast to track NNE along or offshore the Texas coast during Thu and Thu night, with the associated warm front lifting northward across the NW Gulf. $$ GMZ011-140815- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 306 PM EST Sat Jan 13 2018 .TONIGHT...NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
