Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1038 PM EST Thu Jan 26 2023

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends across the Straits of Florida
into northwestern Cuba. Winds and seas associated with the 
front will gradually improve on Fri as the front moves across the
NW Caribbean Sea. High pressure will follow the front. Fresh to 
locally strong southerly return flow will set-up this weekend in 
the NW Gulf in response to the next cold front that will be 
approaching the NW Gulf. This front is expected to move into the 
far northern Gulf Sun and Sun night, and stall along the northern 
Gulf through Mon night. As high pressure moves eastward into the 
western Atlantic, expect fresh to strong east winds across the 
Straits of Florida and the far SE Gulf Sat and Sat night and 
diminish Sun.
