SYNOPSIS  
HIGH PRESSURE IS BUILDING ACROSS THE AREA IN THE  
WAKE OF THE RECENT COLD FRONT MAINTAINING RATHER TRANQUIL  
CONDITIONS. MODERATE NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE EASTERN  
GULF SOUTH OF 27N WILL DIMINISH EARLY ON TUE. THE HIGH PRESSURE  
WILL SLIDE EASTWARD THROUGH WED NIGHT IN RESPONSE TO A DEEPENING  
LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IN THE UPPER MIDWEST REGION THAT WILL BE  
MOVING EASTWARD. AS THIS HAPPENS, THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL  
TIGHTEN OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE GULF STARTING ON TUE  
LEADING TO MODERATE TO FRESH SOUTHERLY WINDS IN THAT PART OF THE  
GULF. THESE WINDS EXPAND TO THE WESTERN PART OF E GULF THU  
THROUGH LATE FRI. THE LOW PRESSURE WILL PULL A COLD FRONT INTO  
THE NW GULF ON SAT. LIGHT TO GENTLE WINDS ARE EXPECTED BEHIND  
THE FRONT INITIALLY BEFORE BECOMING FRESH TO STRONG NORTHERLY  
WINDS SAT NIGHT.
