Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A ridge extending SW from the Florida Panhandle to
Veracruz Mexico will shift SE today. A weak cold front will move
into the NW waters by the afternoon, then stall from the Florida
Big Bend to the Texas Coastal Bend on Mon, then 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.
