.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the region will begin to retreat

and to the west-centrtal Gulf from early next week into the

mid-week. Low pressure may develop along the western part of the

front during the weekend. Strong northeast winds are expected

across portions of the northern and western Gulf behind the

front along with rough seas. Moderate to fresh southeast winds
