Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A frontal system extends across the western Gulf.
The front will move eastward today, reaching from the western
Florida Panhandle to Veracruz Mexico by Fri afternoon. A
reinforcing front will move off the Texas coast tonight,
reaching from southwest Louisiana to northeast Mexico by Fri
afternoon. Both fronts will move east of the Gulf by Sat
afternoon. Expect increasing winds and building seas across the
Gulf both ahead and behind of the fronts as they move across the

high pressure builds over the Gulf in the wake of the second
