Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure building across the eastern
United States will support fresh to strong winds over the
northern and eastern Gulf of Mexico today. These winds will
increase to gale force over portions of the NE Gulf tonight and
Friday. Low pressure will form in the SW Gulf by Fri night then
move NE and into Florida Sat night into Sun. This will cause
additional gales in the NE Gulf. A cold front will trail from
the low, exiting the Gulf early on Sun. Expect widespread
showers and thunderstorms over most of the central and eastern
Gulf through early Sun. Fresh to strong north winds will spill
into the western Gulf Sat and Sat night behind the front. High
pressure will then settle in over the area through early next
week allowing for marine conditions to improve.
