Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh easterly winds near and north of the Yucatan 
Peninsula will pulse to strong at night through Sat night. A 
stationary front currently across the southern Gulf States should
lift northward as a warm front starting Thu afternoon, which 
will cause moderate to fresh winds at the central Gulf thru Fri 
afternoon. A strong cold front is forecast to enter the 
northwestern and west-central Gulf on Sat, then move eastward 
thru early next week. This will bring fresh to strong with 
locally near-gale westerly winds across the western Gulf this 
weekend, and fresh to strong southerly winds to the eastern Gulf 
early next week. Seas will range from moderate to rough during 
the cold front passage.
