Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extending SW from the Florida Panhandle to
Veracruz Mexico will shift SE through Sun. A weak cold front
will move into the NW waters on Sun, stall from the Florida Big
Bend to the Texas Coastal Bend on Mon, and gradually dissipate
through early Tue. Fresh return flow will set up across the NW
waters on Tue, with these conditions spreading E across the
entire gulf waters by early Wed. The pressure gradient will
further tighten on Wed night with locally strong SE flow across
the N-central waters ahead of a cold front moving off the Texas
coast early Thu. The cold front will stall from the Mississippi
Delta to Central Mexico on Thu night.
