Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Tampa Bay to a low
pressure in the NW Gulf from where a cold front extends to
Veracruz, Mexico. The low will move NE out of the north-central
Gulf Fri. In response, the eastern part of the front will
retreat northward as a warm front, while the western portion
will remain generally stationary into the weekend. The boundary
will then dissipate over northern waters Sun. Strong NE to E
winds are anticipated N of the low pressure through tonight.
Over the weekend, high pressure centered in the western Atlantic
will build weakly into the basin, bringing fairly tranquil
conditions to the basin for the start of next week.
