GMZ001-211915- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 315 AM EDT Wed Apr 21 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A stationary front extends from Sarasota, Florida, SW to the Bay of Campeche, connecting to a 1010 mb low pressure. There is also a low pressure trough over the Yucatan Peninsula. The stationary front will transition into a cold front as a secondary cold front moves through the northern Gulf. Fresh to strong winds are expected offshore Texas behind this secondary front. The low is forecast to lose its identity along the front later this morning. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be focused along and near the front today. Some of this activity may produce strong gusty winds and rough seas. High pressure in its wake will shift eastward through Sat night as a cold front reaches eastern Texas. Fresh to strong southerly return flow will develop over the NW Gulf Fri, shift to the central Gulf early Sat and diminish by late Sat as the cold front moves across the NW Gulf and central Gulf waters. $$ GMZ011-211915- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 315 AM EDT Wed Apr 21 2021 .TODAY...NE winds 15 to 20 kt.
