.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pres ridging extending from the western
Atlantic across the eastern and central gulf waters will
maintain strong SE return flow through early Thu afternoon. The
ridge will weaken starting Thu afternoon as it shifts eastward
in response to a cold front that enters the NW Gulf early on
Thu. The cold front will reach from SE Louisiana to near Tuxpan,
Mexico by Thu night, and weaken as it reaches from near Sarasota
to the Yucatan Peninsula by Fri night. The front will be
preceded by a trough and followed by mainly fresh N to NE winds,
except for strong NW winds along portions of the Mexican coast
adjacent to the SW Gulf on Fri. A trough will develop over the
Yucatan peninsula each evening through Fri and shift westward
across the SW Gulf during the overnight hours.
