Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure will continue to extend from the Mid-
Atlantic states southwestward to the northern Gulf of Mexico
waters through Sunday night, as a cold front moves off the Texas
coast. Fresh E winds in the northern Gulf waters will become SE
across the NW Gulf waters this morning, continue through
Saturday, then become light southerly flow just ahead of the
Sunday evening cold front for the Texas coast. The front is
expected to reach from FL Panhandle to the Bay of Campeche by
late Monday, from SW FL coast to N central Yucatan Peninsula
late Tuesday. Strong high pressure will build SE across the area
in the wake of the front with fresh to locally strong northerly
winds spreading from W to E across the forecast waters.
