Seas given as significant wave height, which is the average
height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from southwest Florida to
22N86W, then becomes stationary to the northern Yucatan
Peninsula. Moderate northerly winds are over the eastern Gulf.
These winds will become east to southeast fresh winds tonight
into Wed as the cold front slows down and becomes stationary
over the southeastern Gulf. The front will lift back north as
a warm front 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, then expand 
westward while veering around to the east through Sun night.
