Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from central Louisiana to
Tampico, Mexico will slowly shift east-southeast, reaching from
the Big Bend of Florida to the Bay of Campeche by Thu morning,
and exiting the Gulf by early Fri. Moderate to fresh southerly
winds ahead of the front will persist through today before
diminishing. Only moderate to locally fresh winds are forecast
in the wake of the front. Return flow around high pressure over
the SE U.S. will dominate this weekend, weakening by Sun night
as the next front potentially moves into the NW Gulf.
