Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Tampa Florida to the
southwest Gulf of Mexico near 18N94W will reach the far SE Gulf
early on Wednesday, and move E of the area Wednesday afternoon.
High pressure building in behind the front will usher in fresh
to strong northerly winds across the area from through Wednesday
morning, diminishing through Thursday afternoon as high pressure
shifts to the NE Gulf. The high pressure will weaken Friday as
another cold front moves into the NW Gulf Friday night. The
front will then reach from the NE Gulf to near 24N86W to NE
Yucatan Peninsula by midday Saturday. High pressure will bring
another round of strong northerly flow across much of the basin,
with northerly winds expected to reach gale force in the far SW
Gulf.
