Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters over the next
couple of days. The pressure gradient between the ridge and
lower pressures E of Florida supports fresh to strong northerly
winds over the eastern Gulf, including the Straits of Florida
and the Yucatan Channel. These winds will gradually diminish
through tonight as the ridge weakens. Southerly return flow will
set-up over the NW Gulf on Thu, ahead of the next cold front
forecast to enter the Gulf Thu night. The front will reach from
the Florida Big Bend to near Tampico, Mexico Fri afternoon and
stall afterwards before dissipating Sat. Fresh to strong
northerly winds will follow this front.
