GMZ001-121445- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 943 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 extends from southeastern Louisiana to 27N93W and to inland Mexico just north of Tampico. The front will sweep across the rest of the Gulf by early Sat evening. Gale-force winds and very rough seas will follow the front through 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. $$ GMZ011-121445- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 943 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .OVERNIGHT...N winds 30 to 35 kt.
