A HIGH PRESSURE CENTER WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTH-
CENTRAL GULF THIS WEEKEND, THEN MOVES SE WHILE WEAKENING SOME BY
MON. THIS PATTERN WILL PRODUCE MOSTLY GENTLE TO MODERATE E TO SE
WINDS ACROSS THE BASIN, WITH PULSES OF FRESH WINDS OCCURRING
NORTH AND WEST OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND INTO THE BAY OF
