Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...High pressure dominates the Gulf waters. This system will quickly shift eastward through Thu as a low pressure system develops near the coast of Texas. The low pressure is forecast to track northeastward across the northern Gulf and to over the western Florida panhandle and the southeastern U.S. Fri and Fri night, pushing a cold front across the basin. Strong to near gale-force southerly winds are forecast ahead of the front, with fresh to strong northerly winds behind it. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected with the low center and attendant cold front. High pressure in its wake will also quickly shift eastward from late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf.
