Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A warm front extends from low pressure centered over
the north-central Gulf to the eastern Gulf. A cold front extends
from the low to near Tampico, Mexico. The area of low pressure
will track NE, lifting the warm front over the NE Gulf while the
cold front moves E across the basin through early Thu. Fresh to
strong winds are expected with this low and cold front into
tonight. Another low pressure and cold front is forecast to move
across the basin Fri into Sat, bringing strong winds and the
potential for thunderstorms across the NE Gulf. Looking ahead,
the next front will arrive at the start of next week.
