Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extending westward from the western
Atlantic to the central Gulf of Mexico will be in control of
the wind flow pattern over most of the area through late Sat.
Scattered showers are over the far NW Gulf. A moist return flow 
across the northern Gulf is likely to lead to patchy areas of fog
at night through Sat. Fresh to strong winds northeast to east 
winds will continue pulsing off the NW Yucatan peninsula and 
south-central Gulf at night through Sat night. Looking ahead, a 
cold front is forecast to move into the NW Gulf Sun morning, 
reach from Tampa Bay to 25N90W to 22N95W early Mon and exit the 
basin Mon night. Moderate to fresh northeast winds will follow 
the front, except briefly reaching strong speeds over the waters 
east of southern Texas Sun night.
