Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the SE United
States will continue to support and increase the areal coverage
of fresh to strong winds over the E Gulf to the NW Gulf by early
Thursday. A large area of near gale-force winds will develop
over the north-central and E basin Thu through Fri night with
the potential to reach gale-force. Low pressure will develop N
of the Yucatan Peninsula Fri night into Sat and then track NE
across central Florida Sat night into Sun morning. A cold front
will move into the western Gulf Sat, with strong to near
gale-force winds and rough seas. The front will merge with the
area of low pressure by Sat night and exit the basin Sun
morning.
