Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface high pres will prevail across the Gulf
through Tue. A cold front will enter the northern gulf waters by
Tue night, extend from Tampa Bay to near Brownsville, Texas by
Wed night, then exit the basin early Thu. Fresh to strong winds
are expected over the NE gulf Wed night as the front moves
through this region. Another cold front will sink S over the
northern Gulf Fri night, extend from the Florida Big Bend to NE
Mexico Sat afternoon and stall from near Tampa Bay to a low
pressure near 24N95W to the Bay of Campeche Sat night. Fresh to
strong winds will follow this front with possible near gale
force winds affecting the Mexican adjacent waters Sat night.
Otherwise, smoke from forest fires in southern Mexico may cause
haze and reduced visibilities over the SW Gulf for the next
several days.
