Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Southerly winds will continue to increase across the
western Gulf today ahead of the next cold front expected to move
off the Texas coast this morning. Winds to gale force and rough
seas will follow the front over the western Gulf, as it reaches
from Florida Big Bend to the central Bay of Campeche tonight.
Looking ahead, winds and seas will diminish Sat and Sun as the
front shifts southeast of the basin and high pressure builds
over the northern Gulf. Another front may enter the northwestern
Gulf early Mon, and move to southeast of the Gulf by late Tue
night, followed by fresh to strong with locally near-gale
northerly winds and building seas.
