Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front over the northern Gulf,
associated with weak low pressure near 30N88W, will weaken and
lift northward later today. A cold front will enter the NW Gulf

by a stronger reinforcing cold front that will quickly cross the
Gulf Thu through Fri. Gale force conditions are possible west of
this front offshore of Veracruz, Mexico Fri into Fri night.
Elsewhere, expect strengthening NE winds and building seas
across the Gulf following the second cold front.
