Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends Punta Gorda, Florida to 23N85W
and to the northeast part of the Yucatan Peninsula. Moderate to
fresh northerly winds prevail behind the front. Winds will
diminish this afternoon as the front reaches the far
southeastern Gulf and stalls. The front will lift back north as
a warm from late tonight through Wed night. Fresh to strong
southerly winds will develop over the western Gulf tonight as a
low pressure system takes shape along the central Texas coast.
This low pressure system will track east-northeastward across
the NW Gulf on Wed dragging a strong cold front across the
western Gulf. This front is expected to reach from near
Apalachicola, Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Thu
afternoon, and exit the southeastern Gulf Fri afternoon. Gale
conditions will be possible behind this front off Veracruz on
Fri, while fresh to strong north to northeast winds are expected
over the eastern Gulf and over the southern half of the central
Gulf. Fresh to strong northerly winds will be confined to the
eastern Gulf south of 27N Fri through Sat night.
