Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends from Florida Big Bend to central Bay of Campeche, accompanied by gale force winds and very rough seas over the northeast and north-central Gulf. Frequent lightning and strong gusts are associated a squall line moving through the far southeast Gulf this afternoon into the early evening. The cold front will reach from near Ft. Myers, FL to Cancun, Mexico this evening, then move southeast of the basin late tonight. Winds and seas will diminish Wed through Thu as high pressure shifts E across the Gulf in the wake of the front. Southeasterly winds begin to increase late Thu across the basin as the next cold front approaches from the W. This front is expected to move into the NW Gulf early Fri and reach from the Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by late Fri. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas will follow this front, possibly reaching gale force over the west-central Gulf Fri. Conditions improve Sat and Sat night as high pressure builds over the western Gulf, although fresh NE winds will linger in the SE Gulf and Yucatan Channel.
