GMZ001-160930- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 417 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Low pressure of 1005 mb is centered just south of Pensacola, Florida with a trailing cold from to 24N90W and to Veracruz, Mexico. A warm front extends from the low eastward to just inland the Florida panhandle and to northern Florida. A very tight gradient between strong high building southward over the western Gulf and the cold front associated to the low pressure is resulting in strong northerly winds over over most of the basin, except for minimal gale force winds west of 96W from 22N to 26N. Winds will diminish tonight through Tue as the cold front begins to weaken as it reaches the far southeastern Gulf Tue. It is expected to become stationary, before lifting back north as a warm front Tue night and Wed. Another low pressure system will track east- northeastward across the NW Gulf on Wed and Wed night dragging a strong cold front across the western Gulf. This cold front is expected to reach from near Apalachicola, Florida to the eastern Bay of Campeche on Thu, and exit the Gulf on Fri. Gale conditions will be possible behind this front off Veracruz on Thu. Strong to near gale force southerly winds are possible ahead of this front. Fresh to strong winds northeast winds will be over the southeastern Gulf Sat and Sat night. $$ GMZ011-160930- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 417 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 20 to 25 kt.
