Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front is lifting northward across the
northeast Gulf, ahead of low pressure and an associated cold
front moving through the northwest Gulf. Expect strong to
near-gale force winds and rough to very rough seas into the
overnight hours over the northeast Gulf north of the warm front
as it moves north of the area, diminishing early Mon morning.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms will move ahead of the cold
front over the north- central Gulf tonight. The cold front will
reach from Louisiana to Tampico, Mexico early Mon, from northern
Florida to Veracruz, Mexico early Tue, and then move southeast
of the Gulf early Wed. High pressure will build in the wake of
the front.
