Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-022115- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 509 AM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong west winds over the NE Gulf will persist through early this morning ahead of a cold front extending over the SE of United States. Then, light and variable winds will prevail over the NE Gulf during the upcoming weekend. Elsewhere, a ridge will dominate the Gulf region producing mainly gentle to moderate southerly winds through Fri. Pulsing fresh winds are expected northwest of the Yucatan Peninsula at night through Fri. Looking ahead, an area of low pressure that is currently located near the coast of Nicaragua could move over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the weekend and early next week, but by then strong upper-level winds would likely limit significant development. $$ GMZ011-022115- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 509 AM EDT Thu Sep 2 2021 .TODAY...SE to S winds 10 kt.
