Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A dissipating stationary front extending from the
Straits of Florida through 23N89W to the SW Gulf will wash out
today. A trough offshore of Veracruz will dissipate later today.
Otherwise, high pressure will build in the wake of the front,
supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds in the NE half of the
Gulf, and moderate to fresh winds in the SW half of the Gulf
through Thu. The pressure gradient will tighten over the Gulf by
the end of the week, increasing winds to fresh to strong across
the basin. Seas will build as a result. Meanwhile, fresh to
strong winds will pulse NW of the Yucatan during the evenings.
