Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure has moved east of the Gulf of Mexico as the cold front also exited the basin. Gale force north winds will prevail just N of the Yucatan Peninsula waters through the next few hours. Strong to near gale force northerly winds are elsewhere northwest of the front and low. Rough to very rough seas are being produced by the strong to gale force winds. Rough seas will continue over portions of the southern Gulf of Mexico into early Mon as high pressure settles over the region. As the front moves away from the area, marine conditions will improve through Mon. Fresh southerly return flow is expected for the western Gulf Wed and Wed night as the high shifts eastward. These winds diminish Thu as a frontal boundary approaches the NW Gulf. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TONIGHT...N winds 10 to 20 kt. Seas 5 to 7 ft. .MON...NE winds less than 10 kt.
