Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Moderate to locally fresh return flow is across the
central basin while fresh to strong E and SE winds are
elsewhere, including the Florida Straits. Fresh to strong
southerly return flow over the NW Gulf will continue to grow in
areal extent through tonight. These strong winds will then move
east across the northern Gulf Wed night into Thu. The next cold
front is expected to enter the western Gulf on Thu, and extend
from the Florida Panhandle to Veracruz, Mexico, early Fri. The
front will move very slowly southeast during the start of the
weekend, gradually pushing across the basin through early Sun
while washing out.
