Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the coast of Alabama
to Veracruz, Mexico. A band of showers and thunderstorms is east
of the front over the north-central to northeast Gulf. The front
will remain nearly stationary through this evening. A stronger
cold front will enter the NW Gulf early Fri morning, and merge
with the stalled front Fri evening from the western Florida
Panhandle to the central Bay of Campeche. The front will reach
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. Strong to
near-gale force winds are expected 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.
