Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Surface ridging prevails across the basin supporting
moderate to fresh return flow over the entire Gulf. Fresh to
strong winds prevail over the Straits of Florida due to a strong
pressure gradient. Return flow will increase to fresh to locally
strong tonight over the northwest Gulf and then over the
remainder of the basin ahead of the next cold front forecast to
emerge off the coast of Texas by Wed night. The front will reach
from Louisiana to near Veracruz, Mexico Thu, from the Florida
panhandle to the Bay of Campeche Fri, and stall from northern
Florida to the Bay of Campeche Sat. The next front will move off
the coast of Texas early on Sat.
