Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong winds and building seas follow a cold front
currently extending from southeast Louisiana to Tampico, Mexico.
The front will reach from near Panama City, Florida to
Coatzacoalcos, Mexico by this evening. Winds to gale force
follow the front over the far western Gulf off the coast of
Mexico, and will diminish through tonight. The front will slowly
move across the Gulf through late Sun, spreading strong to
near-gale N to NE winds and rough seas into the east-central and
central Gulf. Frequent gusts to gale- force are possible over
the south-central Gulf and off northwest Yucatan late Sun.
Looking ahead, winds and seas will gradually diminish across the
Gulf during the early to middle parts of next week as the front
stalls and dissipates over the far northwest Caribbean.
