Individual waves may be more than twice the significant wave height. GMZ001-220300- Synopsis for the Gulf of Mexico 1049 AM EDT Sat May 21 2022 .SYNOPSIS...Fresh to strong southeast winds along with occasionally rough seas will prevail from the south-central Gulf to the northwest Gulf into Sun between high pressure over the western Atlantic and broad low pressure over southern Mexico and northern Central America. Winds and seas will diminish Sun into Mon as the low pressure weakens, except for pulses off fresh to strong winds off the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night. Looking ahead, a ridge will build from the western Atlantic across the northern Gulf through mid-week, support fresh southeast return flow over the western Gulf. A large area of numerous thunderstorms, with possible strong to near gale-force wind gusts and frequent lightning is over the NE Gulf. This activity is likely to continue well into the afternoon. Hazy conditions persist over some areas of the western Gulf due to agricultural fires in southern Mexico. $$ GMZ040-220300- NW Gulf including Stetson Bank- 1049 AM EDT Sat May 21 2022 .TODAY...SE winds 15 to 20 kt.
