Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to near gale force south-southwest winds are
across the north-central and NE Gulf, E of a cold front that
extends from south central Louisiana to 60 nm SE of Tampico
Mexico. The front will become stationary from Pensacola, Florida
to N Isthmus of Tehuantepec of Mexico on Sunday morning. The
northern part of the front will continue on Monday from the Fl
Panhandle to N coast of Mexico, and the S part of front will
continue along Mexico coast southward. The front eventually will
merge with a reinforcing cold front that will move across
central Florida on Tuesday, and reach south Florida on
Wednesday. Strong high pressure building southward behind the
front will induce strong northerly winds to the west of the
reinforcing front, with near-gale force winds near Veracruz on
Tuesday evening.
