GMZ001-072030- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 324 AM EST Mon Feb 7 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A pair of troughs are developing over the western and central Gulf as high pressure moves through Texas and into northern Mexico. The resultant tightening pressure gradient between these features will support winds to gale force over the western Gulf along the coast of Mexico from Tampico to Veracruz late today into early Tue. The pattern will also support fresh to strong winds and rough seas elsewhere across the western Gulf through tonight, and across the south-central and southeast Gulf through late Tue. Winds and seas will diminish across the Gulf by early Wed as weaker high pressure settles over the northern Gulf through Fri. $$ GMZ011-072030- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 324 AM EST Mon Feb 7 2022 .TODAY...NE winds 20 to 25 kt.
