Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Cedar Key, Florida to the
eastern Bay of Campeche. It will push further southeastward this
morning, and fresh to strong northerly winds along with rough
seas will persist behind this front across the central and
eastern Gulf. Afterward, it is expected to stall from the
Florida Straits to the Yucatan Channel this afternoon through
Sun, which will cause a period of fresh to strong NE winds just
north of the Yucatan Peninsula and Channel on Sun. Winds and
seas across the Gulf will finally diminish by Sun evening as
high pressure builds over the northern Gulf. Looking ahead,
another front may enter the northwestern Gulf by late Mon, and
exit southeast of the Gulf by late Wed night. Fresh to strong
northerly winds and building seas will follow this second front,
with winds possibly reaching gale force over the west-central
and southwestern Gulf Tue and Tue night.
