Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from south-central Louisiana to
near Poza Rica, Mexico. A band of showers and thunderstorms,
some severe, is associated with the front. Frequent lightning
and strong gusty wind are likely with the storms. The front will
reach from the western Florida panhandle to the south-central
Bay of Campeche Thu evening and stall. A stronger cold front
will enter the NW Gulf late Thu night or early Fri morning, and
merge with the stalling front. The merged front will reach from
the Florida Big Bend to the NW Yucatan peninsula by Fri night,
and from near Tampa Bay, Florida to the Yucatan Channel by Sat
afternoon. 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.
