Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pres over the eastern gulf will continue to
slide eastward in response to the eastward progression of a cold
front that extends from just west of Panama City to near 28N93W and to 
inland NE Mexico this afternoon. The front is preceded by a 
trough that extends from NE Florida to 28N85W and to near 26N90W.
The cold front will reach from Tampa Florida to near 25N90W and
to the southwest gulf this evening, then begin to weaken as it
reaches the far southern waters on Thu. Strong high pres in the
wake of the front will weaken as it moves eastward to the northeast
gulf by Thu night. Another cold front is expected to move across the
far northwest gulf early on Sat, reach from the western Florida panhandle
to near 25N93W and to the southwest gulf Sat evening, then begin to weaken
as it reaches from Tampa to near 24N90W and to the eastern Bay of
Campeche on Sun. Strong northerly winds will follow in behind
the front over the far northwest gulf on Sat before diminishing
to fresh Sat night. Moderate to fresh southerly flow will
develop over the central gulf on Mon as yet another cold front
moves over the northwest gulf. A thermal trough will develop
over the Yucatan Peninsula during the afternoons, drift westward
across the eastern Bay of Campeche during the overnight hours,
then dissipate over the southwest gulf by late each morning
through the period.
