Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging dominates the Gulf of Mexico. The
ridge will continue to shift eastward in response to a cold
front approaching the western Gulf. Ahead of this front, fresh
to strong southerly return flow can be expected in the western
Gulf through this morning with rough seas. The cold front will
emerge off the Texas coast tonight and continue sweeping across
the basin through Sat. Moderate to fresh northerly winds can be
expected behind the front with moderate seas. Surface high
pressure will build in the wake of the front Sat evening through
early next week.
