Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pres over the area will continue to weaken
through early Sat while it shifts eastward in response to a cold
front that approaches the area. This cold front will move across
the NW Gulf on Sat, then become stationary and weaken from near
Sarasota Florida to Tampico Mexico on Sun night. A second cold
front will reach the northern gulf early Tue, then extend from
near Ft Myers FL to the central Gulf Wed afternoon, and weaken
as it reaches farther south in the southeast gulf late Wed
night. Relatively weak high pres will build from W to E across
the area behind the front. Fresh to strong northerly winds are
forecast behind the front in the NW Gulf with both fronts.
