Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Strong high pressure over the Ohio Valley is
supporting strong N to NE winds over the SE half of the Gulf
behind a slow moving cold front in the NW Caribbean. Winds and
seas will gradually diminish today as the high shifts
northeastward. Strong NE to E winds will continue across the E
Gulf and through the Straits of Florida through Fri night as the
cold front stalls. A N to S aligned surface trough will develop
across the central Gulf Fri, with strong E winds covering the
Gulf E of trough. Low pressure is expected to develop from the
trough over NE Gulf by early Sat and move E across northern
Florida this weekend. Gale force winds are possible in the NE
Gulf late Sat through Sat night.
