Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front stretches from a 1016 mb low near the
coast of south-central Louisiana to Tuxpan Mexico. Ahead of this
front, strong SE winds in the north-central Gulf will diminish
later this afternoon. Behind the front, strong NW winds in the
western Gulf will spread southward through the Mexican offshore
waters and continue into Fri evening. Gales will develop this
afternoon off Veracruz and continue through the evening. The
slow moving cold front will stretch from Louisiana to the Bay of
Campeche tonight, the Florida Panhandle to the west coast of the
Yucatan Peninsula Fri night, then weaken as it exits the SE Gulf
Sat night. A coastal trough will develop near the Mexican coast
Sat. Building high pressure west of the trough will induce
strong N winds over the western Gulf, with potential for gale
conditions offshore Veracruz Sun.
