Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging continue to build across the basin
in the wake of a cold front currently over the NW Caribbean. A
center of high pressure over the NE Mexico offshore waters will 
move over the E gulf on Sun. Moderate to fresh SE to S winds
will develop along the far W gulf on Sun ahead of the next cold
front forecast to come off the coast of Texas Mon morning. The
front will reach from Cedar Key, Florida to near the coast of NE
Mexico by Mon evening, then stall from Cape Coral, Florida to
the NW Gulf by late Tue. Moderate to fresh northerly winds will
follow in behind this front. Looking ahead, a stronger cold
front is forecast to enter the NW Gulf Tue night and extend from
Cedar Key, Florida to the Bay of Campeche Wed night with strong
N winds behind it. This front is forecast to exit the basin Thu
afternoon.
