GMZ001-150915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 403 PM EST Sun Feb 14 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A weak 1011 mb low is along a stationary front over the NE Gulf of Mexico from the Florida Big Bend to 25N90W. The stationary front will weaken tonight. Winds will begin to increase over the western Gulf this evening as a tightening surface trough forms into low pressure. A cold front will form tonight and extend southward from the low pressure. By Mon afternoon, the low pressure will be south of Mobile, AL, and the cold front will extend from there to south of Veracruz Mexico. The front will reach from Sarasota Florida to Cancun Mexico by early Tue, then dissipate Tue night. Gale force northerly winds are expected in the northwestern and west-central Gulf late tonight through Monday afternoon to the west of the low pressure and behind the front. A wintry mix of precipitation is likely along the coastlines of Texas and Louisiana tonight and Mon morning. Winds and seas will diminish across the region by early Tue. The next cold front will enter the western Gulf late Wed, then exit east of the basin by Fri afternoon. Strong to near gale force winds are likely to precede and follow this front across the basin, with gale force winds possible off Veracruz Thu. $$ GMZ011-150915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 403 PM EST Sun Feb 14 2021 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...NE winds 20 to 25 kt, increasing to N 30 to 40 kt late.
