SYNOPSIS
A WEAKENING COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST
FLORIDA TO 26N85W AND NORTHWEST TO 27N92W WILL CONTINUE
SOUTHWARD THROUGH EARLY THU. MEANWHILE, A 1022 HIGH PRESSURE
CENTER IS LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF MOBILE, LOUISIANA. THE RELATED
GRADIENT IS PRODUCING A GENTLE TO MODERATE ANTICYCLONIC WIND
FLOW PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE AREA, WITH LITTLE CHANGE INTO EARLY
THU. CHANGES WILL BE UPCOMING AS LOW PRESSURE BEGINS TO DEEPEN
IN THE PLAINS ON THU, AND WHILE A BROAD AREA OF STRONGER HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS WEST-SOUTHWESTWARD TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF. THE
RESULTANT GRADIENT IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FRESH TO STRONG EAST
TO SOUTHEAST WINDS ALONG WITH MOSTLY ROUGH SEAS ACROSS THE
WESTERN HALF OF THE GULF STARTING LATE THU NIGHT. THESE WINDS
WILL EXPAND IN COVERAGE STARTING FRI COVERING MOST OF THE BASIN
BY FRI, INCLUDING THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA AND YUCATAN CHANNEL.
WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH SUN. ELSEWHERE, PULSING FRESH TO
STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED EACH AFTERNOON AND NIGHT
OFFSHORE OF THE YUCATAN PENINSULA AND INTO THE EASTERN BAY OF
CAMPECHE AS A TROUGH DEVELOPS EACH DAY AND MIGRATES WESTWARD.
