Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico

.SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong SE winds will prevail across much of
the Gulf through Thu ahead of a cold front. The cold front will
move off the Texas coast into the northwest Gulf Thu night and
will move across most of the basin through Fri. The front will
slow down and weaken further as extends from South Florida to
Veracruz, Mexico, by late Sat. Moderate to locally fresh winds
will follow the front through Sat. Meanwhile, fresh to locally
strong winds will pulse nightly through late week off the
northern and western Yucatan Peninsula. Haze due to agricultural
fires in southeastern Mexico persists in the western Gulf.
Patchy fog is possible along the NW Gulf coast tonight.
