Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends from the Florida 
Panhandle to near Poza Rica, Mexico. Behind this front, fresh to 
strong northerly winds are seen over the northwestern and west-
central Gulf; while near-gale to gale northerly winds are at the 
western Bay of Campeche until early Sat morning, rough seas are 
present in all areas. The front will reach from near Fort Myers, 
Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche late Sat afternoon, 
spreading strong to near-gale northerly winds to the north-
central, northeastern and central Gulf. Frequent gusts to gale 
force are expected at the central Gulf by late Sat afternoon, 
which will expand into the eastern Bay of Campeche by Sun 
evening. In addition, winds offshore from Veracruz, Mexico will 
reach gale force again by Sun morning. This front should reach 
from the Florida Straits to the Yucatan Peninsula Sun afternoon, 
bringing fresh to strong northerly winds to the western portions 
of the east-central and southeastern Gulf. 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.
