GMZ001-161515- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1008 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front extends across the basin from 30N85W to 22N88W. A squall line precedes the front, extending from 30N83W to 25N85W. 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. Winds will diminish through Tue as the cold front begins to weaken as it reaches the far southeastern Gulf Tue. 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 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. $$ GMZ011-161515- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1008 PM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 .OVERNIGHT...NW to N winds 15 to 20 kt.
