Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1106 AM EDT Thu Oct 1 2020

.SYNOPSIS...A stationary front from SW Florida to E Bay of 
Campeche will slowly dissipate by early Fri. A reinforcing cold 
front will move through the NE Gulf Fri, eventually stalling 
and dissipating across S Florida and SE Gulf by late Sat. 
Meanwhile, environmental conditions are expected to be conducive 
for development of a tropical wave over the W Caribbean, and a 
tropical depression is likely to form over the NW Caribbean Sea or
the south-central Gulf of Mexico on the weekend. This will likely 
support strong to near gale-force winds and building seas over the
mainly the south-central Gulf from late Fri to early next week.
