Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong S winds prevail over the northeast
Gulf of Mexico, ahead of a weak cold front that currently
extends from Lafayette, Louisiana, to Tampico, Mexico. The cold
front will move E across the northern Gulf through Sat night. A
line of strong thunderstorms, currently over the north- central
Gulf, will continue moving slowly eastward through tonight. High
pressure will move across the northern Gulf in the wake of the
front this weekend, leading to gentle to moderate winds. Fresh
to strong SE to S flow is likely to return to the Gulf Sun night
into Tue night, ahead of the next cold front, which should move
off the Texas coast Tue. Patchy dense fog is possible for
portions of the U.S. coastal waters through the next couple of
days.
