Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-121500- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 947 PM EST Mon Jan 11 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1017 mb over the Florida panhandle trails a cold front to 25N87W and to the eastern Bay of Campeche. The front will weaken as it slowly reaches the far southeastern Gulf Tue night. It will then dissipate over the Straits of Florida through Thu. Fresh to strong north winds behind the front will diminish to mainly fresh winds Tue. A coastal trough will maintain strong NW winds along the coast of most Mexico through Wed before diminishing Wed night as high pressure building across the northern Gulf allows for winds and seas to diminish elsewhere. Looking ahead, another front will move into the northern Gulf Fri, with fresh winds and building seas following the front as it moves over the eastern Gulf through Sat. $$ GMZ011-121500- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 947 PM EST Mon Jan 11 2021 .OVERNIGHT...N winds 15 to 20 kt.
