Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure north of the area is producing
moderate or weaker winds over the Gulf this afternoon with the
exception of some fresh NE winds over the Florida Straits.
Tomorrow and Sun, an approaching cold front will enhance the
return flow becoming SE fresh to strong over the N central and
NE Gulf. A warm front should develop near the Texas-Louisiana
coastline along the northern edge of the strong SE winds Sat
night into Sun night, enhancing the likelihood of showers and
thunderstorms in the N Gulf. The cold front should emerge from
the Texas coast Sun night, quickly move southeastward reaching
from the Florida Big Bend coast to near Veracruz, Mexico by Tue
morning, and extending from Ft Myers, FL to the Yucatan by Wed
morning. N winds behind the front are expected to only be
moderate to fresh across the Gulf, except for strong NE winds
near Tampico.
