Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A warm front extending from near 24N86W northwestward to inland northeast Texas will lift north-northeastward through late tonight as developing low pressure over eastern Texas begins to track northeastward. As the low begins to accelerate northeastward, it will drag a strong cold front across the Gulf of Mexico beginning tonight and through Thu. A Gale Warning is in effect for some of the zones of the Gulf. Near gale- force to gale-force southerly winds have developed over the NW Gulf and north-central Gulf. Gale-force winds are expected offshore Tampico late tonight, and offshore Veracruz Wed in the wake of the front. A line of scattered showers and thunderstorms, some possibly with strong gusty winds, is likely to precede the front. Winds and seas will gradually improve by Fri. Fresh to strong southerly return flow will begin to set-up in the far western Gulf starting Sat in response to the next cold front that will be approaching the NW Gulf. Fresh to strong east winds will surge from the southwestern Atlantic through the Straits of Florida and into the far southeastern Gulf Sat and Sat night. These conditions will improve late on Sun into Sun night.
