   GULF OF MEXICO SUMMARY FOR DEEPWATER LEASES:
   Moderate southeast winds will continue over the Gulf today ahead of a strong cold front

   and Friday bringing light north winds across the leases behind it.

   and around any of the heavier thunderstorms. Winds behind this front will increase to
   gale force tonight through tomorrow.
