Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...A cold front is entering the NW Gulf from S-central
Louisiana to the mid-Texas coast, with high pressure ridging out
ahead of it across the remainder of the basin. The front will
reach from N-central Florida to the W-central Gulf to Veracruz,
Mexico this evening, then will weaken and eventually wash out as
it pushes through the southern Gulf by Mon evening. Fresh to
strong winds and building seas will follow the front through
early Mon, lingering offshore of Veracruz through Mon evening.
High pressure will rebuild in the wake of the front, with gentle
to moderate winds across the NE half of the basin, and moderate
to fresh across the SW half, pulsing to fresh to strong NW of
the Yucatan Peninsula at night.
