Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S return flow will prevail over the central and western Gulf today ahead of a cold front that is just inland the Texas coast. The front will move off the coast this morning. It will reach from Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of Campeche early Thu and from Sarasota, FL to the central Bay of Campeche Thu night before slowing down and beginning to weaken. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to accompany the front today over the NW Gulf, and tonight into Thu across the north- central and NE Gulf of Mexico. Strong to locally near-gale force NNW to N winds are expected immediately behind the front today in the western Gulf, diminishing to moderate to fresh northerly winds behind the front tonight into Thu for the central and eastern Gulf. The front should become stationary Fri night from the Florida Keys to the south-central Gulf of Mexico before weakening further. The front should remain in about the same position through Sat as a surface trough forms over the SW Gulf. The gradient between this surface trough and high pressure over the southern U.S. is likely to induce a large area of fresh to strong N to NE winds over the central Gulf this weekend.
