Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh northerly winds across the Gulf of Mexico will
become southerly across the northwest waters overnight as a
ridge develops north to south across the central gulf waters.
The ridge will shift east to a position from the Florida Big
Bend to Veracruz Mexico by Fri evening as southerly return flow
spreads east across the entire Gulf of Mexico ahead of the next
cold front moving into the northern waters late Sat night. This
cold front will race across the gulf waters on Sun and Sun
night, passing through the Straits of Florida late Mon, with
strong post-frontal northerly winds on Sun and Sun night.
