Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A broad area of deep-layered low pressure across the
north central and northeast Gulf will move NE across northern
Florida and the SE U.S. today. A trailing cold front extends the
Florida Bug Bend to near Tampico, Mexico, and will exit the
basin to the SE by this evening. Fresh to strong northerly winds
will spill across the basin well behind the front today. High
pressure in the wake of the front will quickly shift eastward
late Sat night through Sun night, allowing for fresh to strong
southerly winds to develop over the western Gulf Sun, ahead of
the next cold front. Strong southerly winds will then shift to
the central and eastern Gulf early Mon through Mon night as the
new cold front enters the western Gulf Mon night. Fresh to
strong N winds are briefly expected Tue behind the front over
the W Gulf of Mexico. The front will slow and weaken mid-week
from the Florida Big Bend to near Veracruz, Mexico.
