Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front will enter the NW Gulf tonight and
slowly move southward through Wed night. A reinforcing cold
front will then help push the front quickly across the remainder
of the Gulf Thu through Fri. Gale force conditions are possible
west of this front offshore of Tampico early Fri morning, and
Veracruz later in the day Fri into Fri night. Elsewhere, expect
strengthening NE winds and building seas across the Gulf
following the second cold front.
