Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the far western Florida
panhandle southwestward to 26N90W and to the Bay of Campeche
near 10N96W. A line of strong to severe thunderstorms with
frequent lightning and gusty winds is ahead of the front, north
of 27N. These storms will continue eastward across the Gulf as
the front reaches from Tampa Bay, FL to the Yucatan Peninsula
tonight, and exits the basin from the Straits of Florida to the
Yucatan Channel by midday Thu. Gale-force winds offshore
Veracruz will diminish to near gale-force early this evening.
Winds and seas will gradually improve by Fri. Fresh to locally
strong southerly return flow will set-up this weekend in the far
western Gulf 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.
