.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to fresh S to SE winds and slight to 

moderate seas will prevail over the eastern Gulf into Sun. A cold

front will move into the northwestern Gulf Sun morning and move 

southeastward over the basin through Mon. Moderate N to NE winds 

are expected north of the cold front, with locally fresh winds 

possible north of 26N into Mon morning. High pressure will build 

in the wake of the front, leading to gentle to moderate winds and

slight seas over the Gulf early next week.
