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 into tonight, with easterly gales offshore of
Florida through this morning. A 1011 mb low pressure near 24N91W
will strengthen and move E-NE across the basin through this
evening, and inland across the Florida Big Bend late tonight.
This will produce additional gales in the NE Gulf tonight.
Thunderstorms in association with this low will provide locally
higher winds and seas today and tonight. 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 today into
Sun behind the front. High pressure will then settle in over the
area through early next week allowing for marine conditions to
improve.
