GMZ001-270900- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 350 PM EST Wed Jan 26 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Complex low pressure over the eastern Gulf with a weakening front is enhancing showers and thunderstorms along the Florida Keys and Florida Straits. This boundary will dissipate today. A stationary front with a 1014 mb low pres in the northeast Gulf will gradually weaken and move inland into Florida by tonight, with strong winds in the north-central Gulf gradually diminishing tonight. A strong cold front will move into the NW Gulf Fri, then race through the basin by Fri night, bringing strong to near gale force winds to much of the basin into Sat. Gales are likely offshore Tampico and Veracruz, Mexico, late Fri and possibly extend across the central and southeast Gulf into Sat behind this cold front. $$ GMZ011-270900- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 350 PM EST Wed Jan 26 2022 .TONIGHT...NE to E winds 10 to 15 kt.
