GMZ001-122015- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 312 AM EST Jan 12 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extending from northern Florida southwestward to 26N85W and to the northwestern Yucatan Peninsula will weaken as it slowly reaches the far southeastern Gulf tonight. 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. $$ GMZ011-122015- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 312 AM EST Jan 12 2021 .TODAY...N to NE winds 10 to 15 kt.
