GMZ001-192015- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 313 AM EST Sun Dec 19 2021 .SYNOPSIS...A cold front that stretches early this morning from the Florida Panhandle to just south of Brownsville, Texas, will move slowly south today, with strong north wind behind it. Frequent gusts to gale force are expected this morning along the Texas coast. Low pressure will form along this front in the central Gulf Mon, then move NE into the SE U.S. Tue. This will accelerate the front eastward through the Gulf by Tue night. This low will likely bring strong winds to portions of the north- central and NE Gulf of Mexico. Winds and seas will subside Wed through Thu in the wake of the front, as weak high pressure builds in across the Gulf. $$ GMZ011-192015- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 313 AM EST Sun Dec 19 2021 .TODAY...N to NE winds 20 to 30 kt.
