Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...The gradient between 1029 mb high pressure over the
coast of North Carolina and lower pressure associated with a
cold front over central Texas will support fresh SE to S winds
across the Gulf of Mexico through midday Wed. The cold front
over Texas will move over the western Gulf Wed afternoon. Fresh
to strong northerly winds and building seas will briefly follow
this front, which will stall over the west-central Gulf on Thu
while dissipating. A stronger cold front will enter the NW Gulf
Thu night, reach from the Florida Big Bend to Merida, Mexico Fri
evening, and exit the basin by Sat afternoon. Northerly gales
are possible near Tampico, Mexico early Fri afternoon, and
offshore Veracruz, Mexico Fri afternoon through early Sat. Gales
could also persist over the central Bay of Campeche into Sat
morning. Very rough seas are expected in the wake of the front,
especially over the SW Gulf. Winds and seas will gradually
subside Sun as a high pressure ridge moves over the basin.
