GMZ001-012130- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 419 AM EST Mon Mar 1 2021 .SYNOPSIS...High pressure ridging extending from the Atlantic to the central Gulf will slide ESE today as a cold front approaches the Texas coast. The front will move over the NW Gulf this afternoon. Tonight the front will stall from 29N83W to a low pressure near 27N93W. A cold front will extend from the low to Tamiahua, Mexico with strong to near gale force winds behind, rapidly reaching gale force through Tue evening as the tail of the front reaches the central Bay of Campeche. The stationary front will transition to a warm front that lifts north of the Gulf late on Tue, and the cold front will weaken as it reaches the central Gulf Tue night into Wed, the southeastern Gulf during Wed and east of the Gulf late Wed night. In the wake of this front, high pressure will shift eastward across the northern and central Gulf Fri and Fri night as another low forms along a front that may possibly enter the NW and north- central Gulf areas. $$ GMZ011-012130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 419 AM EST Mon Mar 1 2021 .TODAY...Variable winds less than 5 kt.
