Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending across the Straits of Florida
to near Veracruz, Mexico will exit the Gulf region later this
morning. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas behind the front
will gradually diminish this afternoon. A low pressure is
forecast to develop over the NW Gulf near the Texas coast late
on Thu, then track east-northeast toward the NE Gulf by Fri
pushing a cold front across the basin. The low is expected to
move inland northern Florida late on Fri. This next frontal
system will bring increasing winds and seas across the Gulf
waters, as well as widespread showers and thunderstorms.
