A moderate pressure gradient between high pressure over the western Atlantic and lower pressures over Texas and Mexico result in moderate to fresh easterly winds and moderate seas across the Gulf waters. The gradient will weaken from west to east Fri into the weekend as a frontal boundary approaches the western Gulf waters and a trough forms over the central Gulf. The front may move into the basin by the end of the weekend with weakening winds and subsiding seas ahead of it. Increasing winds and building seas are possible behind the drifting front.
