Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Naples southwestward
25N86W to 23N89W and to the eastern Bay of Campeche. High
pressure is present to the northwest of the frontal boundary.
The front will weaken tonight into early Sun. Its remnants will
drift back to the west across the eastern gulf on Sun, and
dissipate by late morning on Mon. The Yucatan Peninsula thermal
trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon
through Thu, drift westward across the eastern Bay of Campeche
during the overnight hours, and dissipate over the SW gulf by
late each morning. The high pressure will weaken and begin to
shift eastward on Mon in response to the next cold front
forecast to approach the area. This next cold front will move
over the NW gulf on Wed morning, reach from the Florida Big Bend
region to near 24N91W and become stationary to the Bay of
Campeche Wed night. It will weaken as it reaches from S Florida
to the south-central waters and to the SW waters on Thu. Fresh
to locally strong N to NE winds will follow in behind the front
through Wed night.
