Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front stretches SW from southern
Alabama to a 1006 mb low near 23N95W to the western Bay of
Campeche. The northern portion of the front will transition to a
cold front later today and extend from Panama City to 27N93W by
Mon morning. A reinforcing cold front will merge with this front
by Mon night. The merged front will then extend from central
Florida to Tampico Tue night and from Miami to Veracruz Wed
morning. Strong high pressure building southward behind the
merged front will generate strong winds beginning early on Tue.
SREF and GEFS guidance both suggest these winds could reach gale
force near Veracruz Tue night.
