Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extending from the Straits of Florida to the south-central Gulf near 25N87W, where it becomes a warm front to low pressure of 1006 mb near 30N94W. A cold front extends from the low to Tampico, Mexico. The stationary front will lift northeastward as a warm front tonight into Sat as the low drags the cold front across basin. The cold front will extend from Panama City, FL to the central Bay of Campeche near 22N93W early Sat, then weaken Sat night as it reaches from Tampa Bay, FL to 22N93W. Strong to near gale force southerly winds, and scattered to numerous thunderstorms will precede the cold front across the northern half of the Gulf of Mexico, moving from west to east today through tonight, with gale force winds possible tonight in the north-central to northeastern Gulf. Some of these thunderstorms could be strong to severe, with gusty winds. Winds and seas will subside Sat night. Looking ahead, the next cold front is expected Mon night, preceded and followed by strong to gale force winds and building seas Mon through Tue night. Conditions quiet down Wed and Wed night as high pressure in the wake of the front shifts E across the central Gulf. This will allow for moderate return flow to set up over the far western Gulf.
