SYNOPSIS
 
FRESH TO LOCALLY STRONG NE WINDS, SURROUNDING A 1017  
MB LOW IN THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO, WILL DIMINISH BY THIS  
EVENING. MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH SE TO SW WINDS LOOK TO  
DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH SAT ACROSS THE NORTHERN  
AND WESTERN GULF AS A WARM FRONT LIFTS NORTHWARD, AHEAD OF  
DEVELOPING LOW PRESSURE IN THE SOUTH-CENTRAL UNITED STATES. A  
COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED LOW IS EXPECTED TO  
ENTER THE NORTHWESTERN BASIN SAT NIGHT, AND FRESH N WINDS WILL  
FOLLOW THE FRONT. WINDS WILL INCREASE TO STRONG SPEEDS ON SUN AS  
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT TIGHTENS BETWEEN THE FRONT AND BUILDING  
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. NEAR-GALE FORCE WINDS WILL BE  
POSSIBLE ON SUN OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN GULF OFFSHORE OF TAMPICO  
AND VERACRUZ. ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED TO ACCOMPANY THE WINDS.  
LOOKING AHEAD, A VERY STRONG COLD FRONT IS SLATED TO MOVE INTO  
THE NORTHWESTERN GULF EARLY NEXT WEEK, LEADING TO STRONG TO NEAR  
GALE FORCE WINDS ACROSS THE BASIN. WINDS MAY REACH GALE FORCE IN  
THE FAR WESTERN GULF, OFFSHORE OF MEXICO. ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH  
SEAS ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE WINDS.
