Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...High pressure over the forecast waters will retreat
eastward today, enabling a cold front to move into the northern
Gulf tonight. The front will move to the central Gulf waters Sat
and gradually stall through Sun. An area of low pressure is
expected to develop along or near the western part of the front
over the SW Gulf on Sat, and track east-northeastward toward
South Florida on Sun. Fresh to strong east winds will develop
north of the front over the southern half of the central Gulf
late Sat into Sun. The stalled front will then transition back
to a cold front and exit the southeastern Gulf early on Mon. In
the wake of front, fresh northeast winds are expected over the
eastern and central Gulf waters Sun night through Mon night,
veering to the east on Tue. Unsettled weather in the form of
numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms will impact the
most of the southern and eastern Gulf waters Sat through Sun.
