.SYNOPSIS...1029 mb high pressure over North Carolina spreads
ridging into the central Gulf, as a cold front moves E over
west-central Texas. The resultant pressure gradient between
these two features will support fresh SE to S winds across the
Gulf of Mexico through Wed. The cold front over Texas will move
over the western Gulf Wed afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly
winds and building seas will briefly follow the front that will
stall over the west-central Gulf on Thu while dissipating. A
stronger cold front will enter the NW Gulf Thu night, reach from
the Florida Big Bend to Merida, Mexico Fri evening, and exit the
basin by Sat morning. Strong to near-gale force winds are
expected behind the front.
