Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong winds and rough seas follow a cold front
extending from the Florida Big Bend area near Steinhatchee to
near Coatzacoalcos, Mexico. Scattered thunderstorms are evident
ahead of the front over the central and eastern Gulf. Wind will
reach gale force off Veracruz, Mexico overnight as the front
extends from southwest Florida to the northwest Yucatan
Peninsula by early Sun. Frequent gusts to gale force are
possible behind the front late Sun over the central Gulf. The
front will move southeast of the area by early Mon. High
pressure building in the wake of the front will allow winds and
seas to diminish across most the Gulf through Mon, although
fresh to strong winds over the western Gulf will persist and
shift SE Mon night into Tue. Looking ahead, winds and seas will
continue to diminish across the basin through mid week.
