Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A surface trough will persist over the SW Gulf
through early next week. A cold front will reach the northern
Gulf waters this evening. It is expected to become stationary as
it reaches from S Florida to near 25N97W by Sun evening. Low
pressure will develop over the far western Gulf late Sun night
along the surface trough near 26N96W. It will lift north-
northeastward through Mon night, then east-northeastward across
the north-central Gulf through Wed as high pressure builds
across the water north of the front and to the west of the low.
A front will extend southwestward from the low through Wed.
Another cold front will approach the far NE Gulf Wed. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas are expected over these waters
through period. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are likely
over much of the western Gulf through Wed and scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms are expected over the north-central
Gulf.
