Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh S flow is expected today ahead of a cold front
that will move off the TX coast this evening. Strong high
pressure will surge S through the Southern Plains and reinforce
this cold front Tue, causing it to surge SE. By Tue night, this
front should stretch from the FL Panhandle to Bay of Campeche,
and it should clear SE of the area Wed night. Strong N gales
will develop over the SW Gulf and western Bay of Campeche Wed
and continue through Wed night. Strong N winds and higher seas
are expected elsewhere. High pressure will settle into the area
for the end of the week, bringing improving conditions.
