Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico
1000 PM EST Tue Dec 7 2021

.SYNOPSIS...A nearly stationary front extending over the northern
Gulf will retreat inland later tonight. A ridge will build 
westward across the basin, with a high pressure cell remaining 
over the eastern Gulf. Moderate to fresh southerly return flow 
will set-up across the western and central Gulf on Fri and Sat, 
ahead of a strong cold front forecast to push off the Texas coast
by Sat morning. Increasing winds and building seas are expected 
in the wake of the front. Gale conditions are possible behind the
front.
