Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Cape San Blas, Florida to
the central Bay of Campeche, and is moving very slowly eastward.
Fresh NE winds and rough seas prevail behind the front mainly N
of 24N. High pressure will build modestly into the W Gulf this
morning through Thu, which will produce fresh to strong winds
and building seas behind the front, as the front moves across
the south-central and southeast Gulf Thu through Thu evening.
Expect rough seas in the Yucatan Channel by Thu night. Winds and
seas will diminish again across the Gulf Fri into Sat as the
high pressure moves eastward across the northern Gulf. Looking
ahead, expect moderate to fresh SE return flow over the
northwest Gulf by late Sun.
