Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from near Apalachicola, Florida to 26N90W and northwest to inland Texas near Corpus Christi. A strong cold front will blast into the NW and north- central Gulf tonight into early Wed and overtake the stationary front. The merged cold front will quickly move to the southeast of the area by Wed night. Storm force winds are expected over a portion of the SW Gulf on Wed afternoon before diminishing to strong gale force winds on Wed night. Gale force winds are expected elsewhere behind the front over the central and western Gulf waters through Wed night. Seas will build to large values behind the front resulting in possible hazardous marine conditions. For the remainder of the Gulf, expect strong to near gale force northwest winds during this period. Winds and associated seas will diminish Thu through Fri as high pressure settles in over the NW Gulf. The southern part of a cold front will clip the NE Gulf Fri night into Sat followed by fresh to strong northwest winds. The high pressure will shift eastward to the NE Gulf by late Sun behind this front.
