Southeast Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front extends across the basin from

expected in the western half of the basin, with gale force winds
expected west of 95W on this morning. A secondary frontal
boundary will drop southward to the northern Gulf early on Fri
and reach the far southwestern Gulf by Fri evening. Strong high
pressure will build in behind this front. The pressure gradient
between the front and broad low pressure that is expected to
form over the western Caribbean by the end of the week is
expected to freshen the northeast winds over most of the
southeastern Gulf by the end of the week. These winds may reach
strong speeds on Sat along with building seas.
