Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge over the northern Gulf will shift E through
tonight ahead of a cold front moving off the Texas coast Mon.
The front will extend from the Florida Big Bend area to Veracruz
Mexico early Tue, just as a reinforcing push of cold air moves
off the Texas coast. The reinforcing front overtakes the first
front late Tue, accompanied by strong winds and building seas
over the northern Gulf. The merged front sweeps southeast of the
Gulf by early Wed. Winds and seas diminish across the Gulf
through late Wed as high pressure follows the front across the
northern Gulf.
