Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from SW Louisiana to near
Tampico, Mexico. A band of showers and thunderstorms, some
severe, is associated with the front. Frequent lightning and
strong wind gusts are likely with the storms. The front will
reach from the coast of Mississippi to the south-central Bay of
Campeche Thu morning before weakening and dissipating Thu night.
Fresh to strong northerly winds will briefly follow this front
over the west-central Gulf through tonight. A stronger cold
front will enter the NW Gulf late Thu night or early Fri
morning, reach from Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of
Campeche by Fri evening, and move across the Yucatan Channel by
Sat evening. Northerly gale force winds are expected near
Tampico, Mexico Fri afternoon, and offshore Veracruz, Mexico
late 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 diminish from W to E on
Sun.
