Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front is currently moving across the
Gulf waters producing gale-force winds and very rough seas. The
front extends from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz,
Mexico, and it is forecast to move just SE of the basin by this
evening. Winds are forecast to diminish below gale force, except
in the Bay of Campeche, by this afternoon, but strong northerly
winds will continue the affect the Gulf region through this
evening. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift
eastward through Mon, allowing for fresh east to southeast
return flow to set up over the Gulf in advance of the next cold
front. This cold front is expected to enter the far NW Gulf late
Mon night, and reach from the western Florida panhandle to the
eastern Bay of Campeche by late Tue. Fresh winds will precede
and follow this front.
