.SYNOPSIS...1024 mb high pressure centered offshore of SW

Florida extends a ridge W-SW into central Mexico and eastward

into the Atlantic. The ridge will shift E-NE across the western

Atlantic into the upcoming weekend. This pattern will produce

fresh to strong southerly return flow across the NW Gulf today

and will expand across the SW and central Gulf this evening into

Thu, ahead of the next cold front forecast to enter the NW Gulf

Thu night. This weak cold front is expected to sink slowly

southward across the north half of the Gulf Fri through Sat

night and gradually dissipate.
