.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will move offshore Texas Tue,
then move quickly SE through the basin, and exit the region
by Wed afternoon. Behind the front, strong to gale-force winds
and rapidly building seas can be expected. These hazardous
conditions will prevail through Thu, then high pressure settling
into the northern Gulf will bring more tranquil weather for the
