Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure extends from the western Atlantic to
the N Central Gulf will maintain southerly return flow over the
basin through this afternoon. A cold front will move into the
Texas coastal waters this evening, move SE and reach from near
Destin, Florida to 26N90W to 24N96W and stationary to near
21N97W early Fri, then weaken as it reaches from near Tampa,
Florida to 26N90W and stationary to 24N96W to 19N96W by Fri
evening. The front will weaken further becoming diffuse by late
Sat night. Strong high pressure building behind the front will
produce gale force winds across the offshore waters of Mexico in
the W central and SW Gulf Fri afternoon into early Sat. Strong
to near gale force winds, with gusts to gale force are expected
elsewhere over the western Gulf waters tonight into early Fri.
High pressure will then shift eastward to the central Atlantic
next week will allow for return flow to return to most of the
basin.
