Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure across the eastern U.S. extends into
the NE Gulf early this morning, and will shift eastward today,
allowing for fresh to strong SE to S winds to expand across all
but the SE Gulf. Frequent gusts to gale-force will persist
across north central portions through this evening. A new cold
front will enter the NW Gulf on this evening, reach from the
mouth of the Mississippi River to near Veracruz, Mexico Tue
morning, then drift E and stall from the Florida Big Bend to the
central Bay of Campeche Wed. Fresh to strong N winds are briefly
expected Tue behind the front over the W and SW Gulf. The front
will then begin to move SE early Thu and move SE of the basin
Thu evening.
