height of the highest 1/3 of the waves. Individual waves may be

Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad ridge centered over the Ohio Valley extends
SE into the western Atlantic, behind a slow moving cold front
extending SW across Hispaniola. This pattern will support
moderate to fresh NE to E winds over the E Gulf today. The high
pressure will shift slowly eastward into the eastern U.S.
through Fri, causing winds to veer E, with fresh across the
eastern Gulf and strong winds through the Florida Straits and
adjacent waters through early Fri. SE return flow is expected to
develop Sat, becoming fresh to strong across N portions Sat
night through Sun.
