Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong thunderstorms are occurring over portions of
the central and southeastern Gulf of Mexico in association with
a stationary front and a pair of 1006 mb lows along the front.
This system will move E today and then inland across Florida
tonight. Strong to near gale-force southerly winds are expected
over the eastern Gulf today, mainly associated with the
thunderstorm activity. Some of the thunderstorms could be severe
with gale force gusts and frequent lightning. A trailing cold
front is located over the NW Gulf of Mexico and will reach from
near Pensacola, FL to near Veracruz, Mexico this evening, and
exit the basin to the SE late Sat afternoon. Fresh to strong
northerly winds will spill across the basin well behind the
front tonight through Sat. High pressure in the wake of the
front will quickly shift eastward from late Sat night through
Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong southerly winds to
develop over the western Gulf, ahead of the next cold front.
Strong southerly winds will shift to the central and eastern
Gulf early Mon through Mon night as a cold front enters the
western Gulf late Mon night.
