Relatively calm conditions are expected on Sun as the weak cold front moves across the Gulf, followed by weak high pressure that becomes established over the NW Gulf at that time. Fresh southerly winds are expected to become established in the western Gulf on Mon in response to a frontal system that approaches E Texas. $$ GMZ040-262045- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 333 AM EST Thu Dec 26 2024 .TODAY...S winds 15 to 20 kt.
