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. For
Sat 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.
