GMZ001-120830- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 325 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022 .SYNOPSIS...A Gale Warning is in effect for all the Gulf waters except the SE part. A strong cold front will enter the NW Gulf this evening bringing gale-force winds and very rough seas across most of the basin tonight and Sat. The front will move SE of the area by late Sat. High pressure in the wake of the front will then shift eastward through Mon, allowing for fresh east to southeast return flow to set up over the Gulf in advance of the next cold front. This cold front is expected to enter the far NW Gulf late Mon night, and reach from the western Florida panhandle to the eastern Bay of Campeche by late Tue. Fresh winds will precede and follow this front. $$ GMZ011-120830- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 325 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .TONIGHT...NW to N winds 20 to 30 kt, shifting to N 30 to 35 kt late.
