Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to
the central Gulf will support gentle to moderate winds over the
basin through Thu night. A strong cold front will reach the
coast of Texas Fri morning, and move across the NW Gulf through
Fri afternoon. Fresh to strong northerly winds and building seas
are expected in the wake of the front, with frequent gusts to
gale force. The front is forecast to reach from the Florida Big
Bend area to near Tampico, Mexico by Fri night, and from near
Sarasota, Florida to 25N90W and to near Veracruz early Sat
morning, become stationary from near Fort Myers to near 24N90W
to the Bay of Campeche by late Sat, before lifting north and
dissipating Sun. Looking ahead, a second stronger front will
move off the Texas coast late Mon, possibly followed by strong
gales over the western Gulf.
