Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure across the eastern United
States will support strong winds over the northern and eastern
Gulf of Mexico today, with easterly gales offshore of SW Florida
through sunrise. 1013 mb low pressure near 24N92W will move E-NE
across the basin through this evening, and inland across the
Florida Big Bend late Sat night. This will produce additional
gales in the NE Gulf today. Thunderstorms in association with
this low will provide locally higher winds and seas Sat and Sat
night. A cold front will trail from the low, moving SE of the
Gulf midday Sun. Strong north winds will spill into the western
and northern Gulf Sat into Sun behind the front. High pressure
will then settle in over the area through early next week
allowing for marine conditions to improve.
