Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A weakening cold front is stalling just off the TX
coast this morning. A reinforcing front will merge with this
front later today, and by tonight the stronger merged cold front
will stretch from the FL Panhandle to W Bay of Campeche by this
evening, then move SE of the Gulf by Wed night. Behind it,
strong gales will develop over much of the SW Gulf Wed and
continue into Wed night, with near storm force NW winds possible
offshore Veracruz late Wed. For the remainder of the Gulf,
expect strong, near gale force, NW winds during this period.
Winds and associated seas will diminish Thu as high pressure
builds in, and by Fri, tranquil conditions will dominate.
