Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends from the Florida Keys to 26N90W
where it becomes a warm front to a weak 1015 mb low over the NW
Gulf near 26N95W. A stationary front then trails from the low to
19N96W. The low pressure will lift N toward the coast of Texas
through Wed night, then east-northeastward across the N central
waters through Thu night and the NE Gulf by Fri, dragging a new
cold front across the SW Gulf. A tight pressure gradient between
the low and strong high pressure over the SE CONUS is supporting
fresh to strong winds N of the low and warm front, and also west
of the stationary front over the western Gulf. Winds are
expected to slightly diminish late today through early Tue.
Then, these winds are forecasted to increase again late Tue or
Wed as the low pressure tracks northeastward toward the NE Gulf
and northern Florida by Fri.
