Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pres from the Ohio Valley to Cuba will
produce fresh to strong NE winds across the Straits of Florida
and SE Gulf through this afternoon. The high will shift eastward
into the western Atlantic tonight and Monday allowing for fresh
to strong return flow to set up across the central Gulf from
early on Sunday through early on Monday evening. Low pres and
its associated cold front will move southeastward over the NW
and N central Gulf on Monday, then move southeastward over the
central Gulf Monday night through Tuesday as the system weakens.
The next strong cold front is expected to move across the NW
Gulf Thu night, and across the central and eastern gulf waters
Fri and Fri night followed by strong to near gale force
northerly winds and building seas.
