.SYNOPSIS...A line of thunderstorms persists over the central
Gulf early this morning, associated with an upper disturbance
over the region. Strong winds are being produced by this
activity. This activity is expected to gradually diminish
through today. A line of numerous thunderstorms, with strong
gusty winds and frequent lightning, is racing east across the NW
Gulf. This activity will likely reach the western half of the
central Gulf early this afternoon. Fresh to strong southeast
winds and rough seas are ongoing elsewhere from the
south-central Gulf to the northwest Gulf, between a strong ridge
over the western Atlantic and lower pressure over southern
Mexico. Winds and seas will diminish into Mon as the low
pressure weakens, except for pulses off fresh to strong winds
off the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night.
Looking ahead, a ridge will build from westward from the western
Atlantic across the northern Gulf through mid-week. The
associated gradient between the ridge and low pressure with a
cold front west of the area will support fresh southeast return
flow over the western Gulf Tue through late Wed. The cold front
is expected to move into the western Gulf on Thu followed by
gentle to moderate north to northeast winds.
