 pushing south across the Gulf towards the Keys coastal waters.

 northwesterly by late Monday. No potent surge in breezes is
 expected with this front. Breezes may slacken slightly after the
 front before veering easterly on Tuesday. Light to gentle breezes
 will prevail through mid week while another high pressure system
 moves from the Carolinas into the western Atlantic.
