SYNOPSIS  
MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH NE WINDS, SURROUNDING A  
1017 MB LOW IN THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO, WILL DIMINISH  
THIS EVENING. MODERATE TO LOCALLY FRESH SE TO SW WINDS WILL  
DEVELOP THIS EVENING AND CONTINUE THROUGH SAT ACROSS THE NORTHERN

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 BY EARLY

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 MUCH OF THE BASIN. WINDS  
MAY REACH GALE FORCE IN PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN  
GULF. ROUGH TO VERY ROUGH SEAS ARE EXPECTED WITH THESE WINDS.
