Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weak low pressure system continues to move southward
across the south-central Gulf waters, and now it is located over
the NE of the Yucatan Peninsula. The low will enter the NW 
Caribbean tonight and open up into a trough. High pressure will 
build across the area this weekend, producing gentle to moderate 
N winds on Sat, then winds will veer to the E and SE on Sun. 
Southerly return flow will increase over the western Gulf later 
on Sun ahead of the next cold front which will move off the Texas
coast late Mon into Tue. Gale conditions are possible in the 
wake of the front over the west-central and SW parts of the Gulf 
Tue through Wed with seas likely building of up to 14 or 15 ft.
