Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A 1004 mb low pressure is centered in the south-
central Gulf of Mexico near 24N88W, with a trough extending
eastward from the low to the Florida Keys. The trough will
dissipate while the low moves southward into tonight. Fresh E
winds to the north of the trough will gradually diminish today.
High pressure will build across the area this weekend, with
moderate or weaker winds and seas of 5 ft or less through the
weekend. Southerly return flow will increase over the western
Gulf ahead of the next cold front which will move off the Texas
coast Mon into Tue. Gale conditions are possible in the wake of
the front over the west-central and SW parts of the Gulf.
