Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters through Wed.
Fresh southerly return flow across the western Gulf will
continue through Wed ahead of the next cold front forecast to
emerge from the coast of Texas late Wed night. The front will
reach from near Vermilion Bay, Louisiana to Brownsville, Texas
on Thu morning, and from the Florida Big Bend to 25N94W to
18N94W Fri morning. Strong northerly winds and building seas are
expected in the wake of the front over the western Gulf, with
gale conditions expected offshore Mexico between the Rio Grande
River and Veracruz beginning Thu afternoon, and possibly lasting
through Fri. The front is forecast to move slowly eastward or
perhaps become stationary this weekend, while gradually
weakening.
