Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Mississippi coast near
30N89W to north of Veracruz, Mexico near 20N96.5W. The cold
front will reach from Cedar Key, FL to Veracruz around noon
today, then become stationary Sun afternoon from the Straits of
Florida to 20N95W. Strong to gale force southerly winds, and
scattered to numerous thunderstorms will precede the cold front
across the northeastern Gulf of Mexico through early this
morning. Some of these thunderstorms could be strong to severe,
with gusty winds. Winds and seas will subside tonight. Looking
ahead, a very strong cold front is expected to enter the western
Gulf Mon evening and move southeast of the basin Tue night.
Strong to near-gale force SE to S winds will begin in advance of
the cold front, Sun night into early Mon, as a warm front
advances northward across the basin, which will produce
scattered thunderstorms. Then, near-gale force winds are
expected across most of the Gulf of Mexico on both sides of the
cold front Mon afternoon through Tue, with several areas of
embedded gale force winds likely along with very rough seas.
Strong to severe thunderstorms will likely accompany the cold
front over portions of the northern Gulf. 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.
