Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A modest cold front is stalled across the N Gulf
along 29N this morning and will move S through the eastern Gulf
this afternoon through Fri, followed by moderate to locally
fresh N to NE winds E of 90W through Sat morning. Otherwise,
weak high pressure will generally dominate the basin through the
week, yielding light to gentle winds through tonight, and gentle
to moderate thereafter. Seas are presently slight, but will
build with the increasing winds behind the front. Volcanic ash
across the Bay of Campeche and along the N coast of the Yucatan,
from recent eruptions of the Popocatepetl Volcano in Mexico, has
moved SE and dispersed.
