Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge dominates the Gulf waters producing fresh to
strong NE to E winds over the eastern Gulf with moderate to
rough seas. Winds and seas will diminish some through early next
week as the high pressure shifts east, ahead of the next cold
front forecast to enter the Gulf region on Sun night. The front
will reach from Mobile, Alabama to near Poza Rica, Mexico by Mon
morning, and from the Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz, Mexico
by Mon night. Fresh to strong SE to S winds and building seas
will precede the front Sat night into Sun. Fresh to locally
strong northerly winds and seas of 8 or 9 ft are expected in the
wake of the front.
