.SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate most of the Gulf waters while
a trough will persist over the NW Gulf through Sat night. The
ridge will shift eastward on Sun, ahead of the next cold front
forecast to enter the NW Gulf by Sun evening. Fresh to strong
southerly return flow is expected ahead of the front covering
the western half of the Gulf by Sat night, and extending to the
NE Gulf Sun and Sun night. Fresh to strong NW to N winds and
rough seas will follow the front, forecast to reach from the
western Florida Panhandle to near Tampico, Mexico by Mon
morning, and from near Tampa Bay to Veracruz Mexico by Mon
evening. The front will exit the basin on Mon night. High
pressure, in the wake of the front, will cover the Gulf waters
on Tue producing moderate to fresh N to NE winds. Looking ahead,
a trough will develop over the western Gulf on Wed, tightening
the pressure gradient and supporting fresh to strong winds on
either side of the trough axis.
