Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Areas of fog are reported over much of the northern
Gulf, east of a frontal boundary currently stalled from the
Sabine Pass to south of Tampico Mexico. The front will drift
east through early Tue, then stall again late Tue from Mobile
Bay to Tampico, before reversing course and moving north of the
area as a warm front through mid week. The front will again
change direction and move back into the NW Gulf Thu as an upper
disturbance moves into the southern Plains. Strong winds will
follow the front as it sweeps SE of the Gulf through early Fri,
with minimal gales possible off Veracruz Mexico by late Fri.
Winds and seas will diminish starting Fri night as high pressure
builds across the Gulf in the wake of the front.
