Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from the Florida Straits
to low pressure near 22N96W. The low will lift north into Texas
today with the front moving over the western Gulf as a warm
front. A cold front will emerge off the Texas coast late Thu,
and reach from the western Florida Panhandle to the Bay of
Campeche by late Fri. A reinforcing cold front will follow into
the northwest Gulf Thu night into Fri morning, reaching from
southeast Louisiana to northeast Mexico by late Fri. Both fronts
will move east of the Gulf by late Sat. Expect increasing winds
and building seas across the Gulf both ahead of, and behind,
these fronts as they move across the Gulf waters. Winds and seas
will diminish through Sun as high pressure builds over the Gulf
in the wake of the second front.
