Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Low pressure over the NW Gulf will move to the
Carolinas through tonight. A trailing cold front will sweep
across the Gulf through Fri night. Winds to gale force and very
rough seas will follow the front over the far SW Gulf off the
coast of Veracruz starting early Fri morning and persist through
the remainder of the day. Fresh to strong N winds and moderate
to rough seas will follow elsewhere through Fri. Winds and seas
will diminish from west to east through Sat night across the
Gulf as high pressure builds in the wake of the front. Looking
ahead, expect fresh S return flow across the NW Gulf on Mon.
