Synopsis
A frontal boundary from the Florida Straits to 23N88W will dissipate by late Mon. Moderate to fresh winds will prevail behind the front. High pressure will then build across the area, with winds diminishing to gentle to moderate. The next cold front will move into the NW Gulf on Thu and rapidly shift across the Gulf basin. The front will be followed by fresh to strong winds and building seas.
