Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridge extending from the Atlantic to
the central Gulf will support gentle to moderate winds over the
basin through tonight. The stationary front currently extending
across the Gulf northern coastline, will transition into a cold
front and move across the Gulf waters through the weekend. Fresh
to strong northerly winds and building seas are expected in the
wake of the front, with frequent gusts to gale force. The front
will extend from 28N83W to 24N96W to 21N97W by Sat. A low
pressure system will develop in the northwest Gulf by Sun, with
stationary front extending from the low to 18N95W, and a warm
front from the low eastward to 26N90W. The cold front will
become weak and extend across the eastern Gulf from 25N81W to
24N85W. This front will continue weakening through early next
week. Looking ahead, a secondary front will move off the Texas
coast by late Mon, possibly followed by strong gales over the
western Gulf.
