GMZ001-112115- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 512 AM EDT Tue May 11 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A ridge will dominate the Gulf waters today producing moderate to locally fresh southerly winds across the western half of the Gulf and gentle to moderate E to SE winds over the eastern half. A surface trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate over the SW Gulf by morning. Moderate to fresh easterly winds will be associated with this trough. A frontal boundary will linger across the northern Gulf coast through tonight. Building high pressure across the SE CONUS will push a late-season cold front across the Gulf on Wed, and it is expected to extend across the Straits of Florida and the southern Gulf by late Fri. Showers with embedded thunderstorms are expected along the frontal boundary. Fresh to strong northerly winds will follow the front. $$ GMZ011-112115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 512 AM EDT Tue May 11 2021 .TODAY...SE winds 10 to 15 kt.
