Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends from Ft. Myers, FL to
the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula near 21N88W. The
squall line with the front over the far southeast Gulf is
beginning to weaken. Near-gale force winds with frequent gusts
to gale force over much of the eastern Gulf will diminish after
midnight tonight. Seas in the Gulf will subside to below 12 ft
around sunrise Wed and below 8 ft by Wed evening. The cold front
will move southeast of the basin late tonight, between midnight
and sunrise. High pressure will move from west to east across
the Gulf of Mexico Wed through Thu. SE to S winds gradually
increase across the basin Thu and Thu night as the next cold
front approaches the coast of Texas. This front is expected to
move into the NW Gulf early Fri morning and reach from the
Florida Big Bend to the central Bay of Campeche by late Fri, and
from Naples, FL to Cancun, Mexico early Sat before weakening.
Strong to near-gale force winds will follow this front across
the western and central Gulf of Mexico, possibly reaching gale
force over the far western Gulf Fri. Conditions improve Sat
night as high pressure builds over the Gulf.
