Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from Tampa Bay southwestward to
near 26N90W, where it becomes stationary to 25N96W and to inland
Mexico at 21N97W. The front will weaken across the southern gulf
waters this afternoon, and then gradually dissipate tonight into
Fri. A second cold front will enter the far northwest waters
late Fri night, stall from southwest Florida to Veracruz Mexico
on Sun, with remnants of the front lifting rapidly northeast on
Sun night and Mon as a third cold front reaches the northern
coastal waters. A thermal trough will develop over the Yucatan
Peninsula during the afternoons through the period, drift
westward across the eastern Bay of Campeche during the overnight
hours, and dissipate over the southwest gulf waters by late each
morning.
