Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from SE Louisiana to the offshore waters south of Tampico, Mexico will reach from Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of Campeche early Thu and from near Sarasota, FL to the central Bay of Campeche Thu night before slowing down and beginning to weaken. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms just out ahead of the front will race E across the north-central and NE Gulf tonight through Thu. Fresh to strong NW to N winds west of the front will diminish to moderate to fresh speeds overnight into Thu for the central and eastern Gulf. Fresh to strong southerly winds ahead of the front will diminish Thu as the front approaches Fl. The front should become stationary Fri night from the Straits of Florida to the south-central Gulf of Mexico before weakening further and 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. The trough will transition to a warm front on Sun and lift northward to the NW Gulf by late Mon. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...NW winds 10 to 20 kt.
