Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the coast of Mississippi
to Tuxpan, Mexico near 20N97W. A band of showers and
thunderstorms associated with the front is located over the
central to north- central Gulf of Mexico. The front will reach
from the western Florida panhandle to the south-central Bay of
Campeche this 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
Apalachicola, FL to the central Bay of Campeche Fri evening, and
from near the Florida Big Bend 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 Sat morning. Gales are also forecast to
persist over the central Bay of Campeche through Sat morning.
Very rough seas are expected in the wake of the front,
especially over the SW Gulf. Low pressure is likely to form
along the frontal boundary Sat over the NE Gulf. Gale force
winds are possible near this low pres over the NE Gulf Sat and
Sat night before it moves over land toward the Georgia coast.
Winds and seas will gradually diminish from W to E late Sun.
