GMZ001-292130- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 516 AM EDT Tue Mar 29 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Strong southerly winds and rough seas will spread eastward across most of the Gulf region this evening through Wed. Frequent gusts to gale force are expected, with building seas of up to 12 or 13 ft across the north-central Gulf on Wed. These hazardous marine conditions will be the result of a strong pressure gradient between high pressure over the western Atlantic and a deepening low pressure over Texas and northern Mexico. A cold front will approach the coast of Texas by Wed evening, and extend from the western Florida Panhandle to near Veracruz, Mexico by Thu evening. $$ GMZ011-292130- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 516 AM EDT Tue Mar 29 2022 ...GALE WARNING... .TODAY...SE to S winds 20 kt.
