Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong easterly winds and rough seas in the
wake of a recent front will gradually diminish during the
overnight hours. High pressure will dominate the area through
Wed. A low pressure is forecast to develop over the NW Gulf near
the Texas coast late on Thu, then track northeast toward the
southeastern U.S. by Fri night pushing a cold front across the
basin. This next frontal system will bring increasing winds and
seas across the Gulf waters, as well as widespread showers and
thunderstorms.
