Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary frontal boundary extends from 1011 mb low pressure south of Mobile Bay toward the Yucatan peninsula. This pattern is supporting winds to gale force and building seas over the northeast Gulf and off Veracruz in the southwest Gulf. Clusters of thunderstorms ahead of the front are bringing gusty winds and lower visibilities due to locally heavy rainfall to portions of the eastern Gulf today. Winds and seas will diminish as the trailing cold front sweeps southeast of the Gulf tonight and the low lifts northeast toward the Georgia coast through late Mon. Weak high pressure sets up in the wake of the front over the western Gulf through mid week. Looking ahead, winds may increase over the northeast Gulf by late Thu as a weak front approaches the region. Gulf of Mexico N of 26N W of 87W .TODAY...NW winds 10 to 20 kt.
