Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the eastern U.S is building
across the Gulf, behind a cold front that is stalling across the
NW Caribbean. Return flow has developed across the W Gulf and
will become fresh to strong early Thu and spread to the entire
Gulf Thu night, ahead of the next cold front. This front will
move into the NW Gulf Fri morning, reaching from Apalachee Bay,
Florida to the central Bay of Campeche Sat morning. Brief
gale-force N winds are expected behind the front offshore of the
upper Mexican waters Fri afternoon, shifting to offshore
Veracruz Fri night. The front will then stall and weaken across
the SE Gulf, and sink slowly SE across the Yucatan Channel Mon
night.
