Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico .SYNOPSIS...A strong cold front will enter the NW Gulf by Mon afternoon, then quickly reach the southeastern Gulf waters Wed and the Straits of Florida Wed evening. In the wake of the front, strong northerly winds are expected in the western half of the basin, with gale force winds possible over the far western Gulf and over the southwestern Gulf Tue and Tue night. High pressure behind the front will build southeastward across the area through Fri while weakening. A weak secondary front will drop southward to the northern Gulf early on Fri and reach the far southwestern Gulf by Fri evening. Stronger high pressure will build southward over the Gulf behind this front. The gradient between it and a tropical wave that will be in the western Caribbean Sea is expected to lead to increasing northeast winds over most of the south-central Fri and Fri night.
