Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge over the northern Gulf will shift E ahead of
a cold front moving off the Texas coast this afternoon. 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 cold air will strengthen
the front late Tue as strong winds and building seas develop
over the northern Gulf. The front will exit SE of the Gulf by
early Wed. Winds and seas diminish across the Gulf Thu and Fri
as high pressure follows the front across the northern Gulf.
