Southeast Gulf of Mexico

Monday and Tuesday. Looking ahead, moderate to locally fresh E 
winds will build across the eastern half of the Gulf on Wed as a 
cold front moves through the western Atlantic. A second cold 
front looks to move through the western Gulf of Mexico late this 
week, reinforcing fresh to locally strong NE winds and rough seas 
across most of the Gulf.
