.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 the far to
just south of Tuxpan late Thu afternoon, from the western
Florida panhandle to the SW Gulf early on Fri then weaken as it
reaches from near Sarasota Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula by
Fri night. The front will move slightly south late Fri night
before it stalls on Sat and gradually becomes diffuse into Sat
night. The front will be preceded by a trough with scattered
showers and thunderstorms, 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.
