Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...Patchy fog and low clouds are evident along a stationary front reaching from the mouth of the Mississippi River to just south of Tampico Mexico. Much of the front will lift north today as a warm front, leaving a weakening stationary front off the Texas coast. A disturbance aloft will briefly re- energize the northern portion of front Mon, allowing it to move eastward before it stalls from Panama City to Tampico by late Tue. The front will again lift north as a warm front Wed, ahead of a stronger reinforcing cold front moving into the NW Gulf late Wed. This front will sweep southeast of the region Fri, followed by strong winds and building seas. Winds may reach gale force off Tampico Wed night and Veracruz Mexico early Thu. Winds and seas will diminish late Fri as high pressure builds over the region. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TODAY...E winds 10 to 15 kt, shifting to SE in the afternoon.
