Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the area will shift eastward 
today as as low pressure develops near the coast of Texas. The 
low pressure is forecast to track northeastward along the Texas 
coast today, then eastward along or just inland the northern 
Gulf coast through Fri to inland the southeastern U.S. late Fri 
night. A trailing cold front will exit the basin through late 
Sat afternoon. Strong to near gale- force southerly winds are 
forecast ahead of the front, with fresh to strong northerly 
winds behind it. Widespread showers and strong thunderstorms, 
some potentially severe, are expected with the low center and 
the 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. These winds shift to the central and eastern Gulf Mon and 
Mon night as a cold front moves across the western Gulf.
