.SYNOPSIS...
Sea fog will continue to be the main concern for the next few

Gulf.
A strong cold front is expected to pass through the Gulf waters
Monday and Monday night. Ahead of the front, fresh southwesterly
winds Sunday night into Monday will become strong northwesterly
winds behind the front into Tuesday. Advisories are likely Monday
